We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced primary-trained teacher to join Ko Taku Reo Deaf Education New Zealand in a permanent, full-time position.
Based at Hillmorton High School, this unique role supports Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) learners across our Christchurch provisions. Regular travel between sites is required, so a full New Zealand driver's licence is essential.
We are seeking a New Zealand registered teacher with at least 5 years’ experience teaching primary and/or intermediate-aged learners and strong knowledge of the New Zealand Curriculum. You will have confidence to use evidence-informed best practice for Deaf and Hard of Hearing learners, to build positive relationships with students and whānau, and to work collaboratively with the team around a learner.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

What You Will Bring
- New Zealand teacher registration and a current practising certificate.
- Proven recent experience teaching primary and/or intermediate-aged learners.
- Strong knowledge of the New Zealand Curriculum.
