Year 7-8 Team Leader (2PMU)

Jora New Zealand will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey. Primary and intermediate (Years 1–8) / kura tuatahi, Syndicate leader Teaching Year 7 and 8s can be... a lot. We’re half kid, half high-schooler, and 100% powered by local drama, snack cravings, and trying to survive Alexandra's winter mornings. Our current team leader is retiring, which leaves a huge pair of boots to fill! We need a genuine legend to step up, lead our intermediate block, and keep us on the right track before we head off to high school. Are you an educational "Good Sort" who brings actual warmth, good vibes, and strong leadership? If you can handle a room full of pre-teens and still bring the energy, we want you! Besides laughing at our jokes, you'll join our wider leadership team, working right alongside to shape the big picture for our school. You'll lead our intermediate team, making sure learning is top-tier and our teachers aren't too stressed out. You’re the hero we need if you: Put relationships first: You care about us as real people and build strong, positive vibes in the classroom and across the team. Give us some say: You design learning around stuff we actually care about and let us have agency over our work. Coach the teacher crew: You love sharing awesome teaching tricks and backing your team. Delivering high-impact, culturally sustaining lessons that actually make sense to us. Advance excellence: Checking the data to keep our learning moving up, and keeping the principles of inclusion right at the heart of how our team runs. Bring special skills: You bring a real heart for Te Ao Māori, the Arts, or Assessment for Learning (or another cool subject area). Know your stuff: You’re totally up-to-date with the latest NZ Curriculum changes and know how to teach us for the future.
