Kaiako - Tutor: Literacy and Numeracy Learning

Literacy Aotearoa delivers accessible quality programmes designed to ensure the peoples of Aotearoa are critically literate and able to realise their full social, cultural, and economic potential.

We are seeking applications from experienced literacy and numeracy tutors for a number of part-time positions to support our diverse communities in the New Plymouth and Taranaki region.

Programmes are often fully funded and provided at no direct cost to the learner, and build on their knowledge and experiences to enhance their confidence and capabilities. Learners celebrate their successes and achievements, growing their independence, confidence and resilience.

You will be part of a local team of educators who are passionate in their understanding that increased literacy and numeracy skills leads to increased opportunities, including employment and further education for learners, and potentially their whānau, families and communities.
