Stratford Primary School : Yr 1-8 Floating Teacher

Come and join our vibrant team. We are a large Full Primary School with a supportive staff. Our kura is a Green-Gold Enviro School. As a community, we celebrate diversity and value strong relationships with our ākonga and whānau. 

Classroom teachers are provided a wide range of quality professional development and leadership opportunities. They are supported to be the best teacher they can be, both personally and professionally. We are part of the Central Taranaki Kāhui Ako: Te Kāhui Ako o Taranaki Mohoao, which further strengthens professional learning opportunities for our teachers. 

The Board supports teachers who live in New Plymouth with use of the school van to reduce travel costs.  Staff that use this option pay approximately $20 per week.  

We are looking for someone who can  positively compliment our school culture. If you are solution focused, have a great sense of humour and a positive outlook, we want to hear from you. Applicants should also share what unique skills and talents they can offer our ākonga.

Applications close 12pm, Friday 15 November 2024. An application pack is available by downloading a pack from the Stratford Primary School website. Please combine (in the following order) your signed cover letter, the application form, and your CV into one PDF document and email this to:
