Year 7-8 Teacher
Build strong relationships, guide students into secondary learning and enjoy teaching in a calm, well-structured school environment.
About the Role
A well-established independent school in Timaru is seeking a passionate Year 7-8 Teacher to join its supportive team from Term 4, 2026, or sooner by arrangement.
This is a full-time, permanent position working with motivated middle-school students in a modern, values-based learning environment.
You will deliver engaging face-to-face teaching while helping students develop the confidence, independence and learning habits they need as they move towards secondary education.
As students begin working with specialist teachers through online learning, you will play an important role in supporting their transition, building their confidence and helping them take greater ownership of their learning.
You will be supported by experienced leadership, clear systems, excellent resources and a wider national teaching network.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver engaging and well-structured programmes for Year 7-8 students
- Build students' confidence, independence and responsibility for learning
- Encourage inquiry, creativity, collaboration and real-world problem-solving
- Support students as they transition into specialist secondary subjects
- Work closely with campus staff and teachers across the wider school network
- Build positive relationships with students, parents and the wider school community
About You
You will be a New Zealand-registered teacher with current certification and the right to work in New Zealand.
You will also bring:
- Recent experience teaching Years 7-8 or similar within the New Zealand Curriculum
- A calm, structured and student-focused teaching style
- Strong classroom management and relationship-building skills
- Confidence using technology to support teaching and learning
- A genuine interest in developing independent and resilient learners
- A collaborative approach and willingness to contribute to the wider school community
What's on Offer
- Salary above the state school scale
- Small classes with motivated and respectful students
- Supportive leadership and a collaborative teaching team
- Modern resources and a technology-enabled learning environment
- Ongoing professional development and career growth opportunities
- Health insurance
- A permanent opportunity in Timaru with an excellent South Canterbury lifestyle
Why This Role Stands Out
This is an opportunity to teach in an environment where students are known, teachers are supported and clear systems allow you to focus on delivering quality learning.
You will have the chance to make a genuine impact during an important stage of students' education, helping them build the confidence and skills required for secondary school and beyond.
