Are You Interested In Working At Mount Aspiring College?

Teaching Positions

All teaching positions at Mount Aspiring College are advertised in the the Ministry of Educations 'Education Gazette'. This can be accessed online at gazette.education.govt.nz.

We welcome applicants to consider our supportive and exciting school.

Please see below for the current roles we are recruiting for. You will be able to access the full job description and application form for these roles.

General Enquiries

We receive many expressions of interest and unsolicited curriculum vitae each year. You may want to email [email protected] for more information and the following may be helpful.


Applying From Overseas

We are fortunate in that we usually receive a good field of applications for any positions advertised. If you are seeking to emigrate to New Zealand and wish to obtain a teaching position prior to travel, you may be advised to look in areas where there is a real shortage of teachers, such as many rural areas and some of the lower decile city schools.

Here are some websites that may be useful to you:

www.teachnz.govt.nz– for general advice about gaining a teaching job in NZ

www.teacherscouncil.govt.nz– to find out about registering as a teacher in NZ

www.nzqa.govt.nz– to apply for an assessment of your overseas qualifications and to learn about the NZ qualifications system

If you are planning to move to Wanaka anyway, and you have secondary teaching qualifications, we would be interested in meeting you and holding your CV on file.


Relief Teaching

We are always interested in meeting new teachers who have moved to the area and are looking for relief work. You do need NZ teacher registration if you wish to work for more than ten days as a relief teacher. It is unlikely that we would have enough relief work to rely on this as your primary source of income.


Outdoor Pursuit Tutors

Our outdoor programme is staffed in the main by qualified teachers with a specialism in outdoor pursuits.

We also employ Outdoor Pursuit Tutors, particularly with qualifications in Rock or Kayak, who work with the teachers during afternoon practical sessions during Terms One and Two, and for a few weeks during Term Four. These are part-time, casual positions only and could not be relied on as a primary source of income.

If you are living in Wanaka and have relevant industry qualifications we would be interested in hearing from you.


Support Staff

Support staff positions are generally only advertised locally and on this website.

We are particularly interested in hearing from qualified or experienced Teacher Aides living locally as vacancies arise regularly and sometimes at short notice. If you live in Wanaka or are planning to move here, and have had experience in these roles, you are welcome to send your CV to jobs@mtaspiring.school.nz for us to keep on file.
