Welcome – Kia ora

New Zealand needs dynamic and enthusiastic teachers who enjoy working with kids of all ages and who understand the vital importance of education. If you're interested in becoming a teacher, or returning to teaching after a break away from the classroom, then you will find all the information you need to activate your career:

• New Zealand citizens and permanent residents thinking of becoming a teacher
• Overseas trained teachers considering teaching in New Zealand
• Returning teachers – either New Zealand teachers currently overseas thinking of returning or those living in New Zealand who've been out of the workforce for a while.
