Mangere Refugee Reception Centre

The reception education programme at the Mangere Refugee Centre requires a teaching assistant to work across a range of age groups, assisting in classrooms with either adult or mainstream education (school-age) learners. An essential qualification for the role is either a teacher aide qualification or an ESOL teaching qualification. Other teaching or general qualifications applicable to the role are desirable. The role includes working with small groups or assisting students with special or high needs. It also includes assisting in the craft and art programme with primary aged children - so an interest in creative activity is advantageous.

Teaching hours will be variable to suit hours at the Centre and also according to incoming groups of learners. In general, the role will involve working 4-5 days a week for a 5-week period, and then one week off, with the salary annualised.

Candidates for this role must have empathy for diverse learners who have had a refugee background. They should also have good intercultural communication skills and preferably prior experience working with migrants or former refugees. Interested applicants should also be able to work in both adult as well as teenage/children's learning environments.
