Te Kamo High School is a well resourced co-ed kura in Whangarei of approximately 780 students. We believe in building respectful and meaningful relationships with our community and value both whakapono (building integrity and trust) and aroha (practicing compassion and respect) to inspire our students to aspire to be the best versions of themselves both personally and academically. We are seeking a New Zealand-registered teacher who will take on the role of learning support coordinator (LSC) based at Te Kamo High School. The successful applicant will have a proven record as a quality classroom practitioner or educationalist with the ability to engage effectively with staff, students, whānau and various agencies. Please note that our learning support coordinators have previously worked under the collective of the Kahui Ako. We would like to still maintain this relationship and the Te Kamo High School learning support coordinators will work collaboratively with the schools in our local community to maintain our relationships of transition for our students.

Preferred start date term 4, 2025 (negotiable)

• Work collaboratively with the director of learning support and wider learner support team to enhance provision for students and teachers

• Contribute to leading PLD for staff on all aspects of inclusive practice

• Liaise and work with other LSCs across the cluster, and connect with the learning support facilitator and wider agencies

• Proactively contribute to ensuring quality transitions into the Kura
