Northern Health School is a Ministry of Education funded school that provides education and transition support for year 0-14 students whilst ill health prevents them attending their regular school.

We seek a Unit Leader to lead our Mid-North school unit based in Kerikeri, leading a team of teachers and support staff delivering learner focused programmes to ākonga with high health needs.
You will be an experienced, fully registered teacher with a highly developed knowledge of the NZ school curriculum and pedagogy, with experience in teaching across all year levels (or comfortable in doing so). We are also looking for warmth, empathy, the ability to build positive relationships with key stakeholders, and a commitment to inclusive, relationship-based practice.
Recent leadership experience, previous experience teaching in a health school setting and/or an ability to support students with Te Ao Māori and Te reo Māori an advantage.
Our teaching roles promote the values of Te Tiriti o Waitangi within the culture of our school.
A full NZ driving licence is essential for this position.

Mid North Unit
This unit is located in Kerikeri and serves the mid-North geographic area.
NHS Northland unit teachers work with school age students who meet Northern Health School admission criteria, in both hospitals and the community. Education programmes are planned in association with staff of the student’s regular school and may include Te Aho O Te Kura Pounamu (Correspondence School) subjects. An ILP (Individual Learning Plan) is developed for each student in association with their school of enrolment, parents and any others who may be involved in their wellbeing.
NHS teachers visit students in their homes and depending on their health needs, students may attend a NHS student support centre or their school of enrolment on a part time basis. When the time is appropriate, the NHS teacher will help transition the student back to school on a full-time basis.
When visiting students in the community, teachers have the use of a NHS vehicle; however should a vehicle be unavailable, teachers will be expected to use their own vehicle and be reimbursed according to the teacher’s collective agreement.
ICT is an integral part of Northern Health School’s administration, programme development and student record activities. Teachers in all our units must be prepared to use ICT extensively in the course of their work.
Teachers are responsible to the Unit Leader and supported by a teacher aide/ administrator.
