Applications are open for a skilled junior school teacher to join our dedicated team at West Eyreton School. We pride ourselves on having a supportive school community, highly capable staff, and engaged learners. Our school vision - Excellence through Effort, Example, Enterprise, and Empathy - guides everything we do.
Situated in North Canterbury, just 30 minutes northwest of the city centre, our kura offers a welcoming, beautifully maintained environment with a distinct country feel. Our unique features include extensive open play areas, exciting adventure playgrounds, a community library, and a covered community pool. At the heart of our special school are our tamariki, and our vision to ensure every one of them thrives.
The ideal candidate will be a collaborative and proactive team player who is willing to support colleagues and work together to create a positive learning environment. A commitment to neuro-affirming practices is essential. This means you recognise and respect the diverse ways students learn and process information, moving beyond traditional approaches to meet individual needs effectively. Proven strengths in teaching structured literacy, with a sound knowledge of the science of reading to build a strong foundation for our students' reading and writing skills, would be an advantage.
Join us and become a part of our special school community, where you can truly make a difference. If you are a teacher who is ready to contribute your skills and passion, we strongly encourage you to apply.
The successful applicant will start on Thursday, 29th January 2026
