COME AND TEACH IN NEW ZEALAND

We need teachers RIGHT NOW & throughout the year!

Oasis Education is a specialist teacher recruitment company based in Auckland and we are looking to recruit UK trained teachers (from NQT's to twenty-year experts) who wish to work in our schools here in New Zealand, starting from as soon as NOW! (rolling start dates throughout the year to suit).

Opportunities as follows:

  • Fulltime Primary Teaching 
  • Fulltime Secondary Teaching (all subjects) 
  • Casual relief (Supply) Primary Teaching 
  • Casual relief (Supply) Secondary Teaching

Remuneration:

  • Annual full-time salaries of up to NZD$95,000 before tax, dependent on qualifications and experience. 
  • Attractive rates for casual relief (supply) teaching in and around Auckland

Possible International Relocation Grants: (Criteria applies)

The NZ Ministry of Education will sometimes offer a generous one-off international Relocation Grant for teachers taking posts of one year or longer

Visas:

Non-NZ citizens require work eligibility to teach in NZ and Oasis can offer information on options and pathways to obtaining the appropriate visa to enable you to start teaching in NZ

  • Working holiday visas: UK citizens aged 35 years and under are able to travel to NZ and work casually, for up to three years (T&Cs apply). This is an excellent way to have an initial ‘look-see’ at Aotearoa and work in some NZ schools while travelling and seeing the country at the same time.
  • Accredited Employer Work Visa Over 35 or ineligible for a Working holiday visa? If you have a job offer from a school, this work visa allows you to secure a visa for up to 5 years.
  • Pathways to Residency: The NZ Government has opened the country for SKILLED MIGRANT immigration and for those teachers in full time ongoing employment, pathways for a straight residency visa is now an option.

Where to from here?

Oasis would love to meet you by zoom or email to discuss visas; jobs, life in NZ, reference checking etc, and to advise how you can become a registered NZ teacher. We can assist you through this process and help to make your Kiwi dream a reality, so if you possess the skill-set below, don’t hesitate to contact us and let’s make it happen!
