Teacher/Kaiako

Full time, Permanent - Junior Level 

This is a great opportunity to join our Carlton whānau. We are a progressive school situated in the heart of Whanganui. Learning and teaching are underpinned by our school values of Te Pono/Honesty, Te Matatika/Integrity, Te Whakaute/Respect, Tū te Mana tū te Mauri/Belonging, and Te Kotahitanga/Community. 

The position commences at the beginning of term 3 2026 (July 20), or at a later date by negotiation. 

The position is within our junior Pou Herenga team (Years 1-3) and the year level can be negotiable. We have a very diverse community of learners and are exploring better ways to meet their needs. If you love a challenge, and are an innovative, passionate teacher, this is the position for you. 

We're looking for a forward-thinking teacher who embraces diversity, and is able to provide a well structured adaptive programme. You’ll be willing to share and grow your knowledge.  Teamwork and collegiality will go hand in hand with an engaging and positive outlook. 

This is an opportunity to be part of our refreshed approach to curriculum and cognitive needs.

At Carlton School, we believe the best teachers are also the best learners. If you’re looking for a supportive community where your voice is heard and your professional growth is prioritised, we’d love to meet you. 

Whāia te mātauranga hei oranga mō koutou.
