Paraparaumu College is a co-educational school of around 1,500 students situated on the beautiful Kāpiti Coast. We enjoy a spacious campus with a growing roll, an innovative approach to learning, and a commitment to achieving the highest equitable outcomes for our students.
We currently have a permanent, part time (term-time only) teacher aide position available, for the start of the school year in January 2026, where you will work across a range of contexts in the school as part of our learning support department.
At the college we have a number of students who are supported with individualised programmes to access the curriculum. These students may have a variety of significant additional needs (intellectual, emotional, social and physical) and require ongoing support. You may be supporting students alongside both specialist teachers in supported classes and classroom teachers in mainstream classes.
We also have a number of students for whom learning support happens primarily in mainstream classes and in additional literacy and numeracy targeted programmes. You will work alongside classroom teachers to help students access the curriculum and develop specific skills to help their learning.
The role falls within Grade D of the Support Staff in Schools’ Collective Agreement. The successful candidate will need to provide highly specialised support for students with complex health, behavioural and/or other needs and support the development and implementation of specialised learning programmes which will require strong technical proficiency and skills.
Further information about the scope of work covered by this position can be found in the Teacher Aide Work Matrix Table in section 3A.3 of the Collective Agreement.
The preferred candidates will be required to complete a police vetting check and must be eligible to work in New Zealand.
