Ko wai mātou | About us:

Nau mai, haere mai ki Te Kura

At Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu (Te Kura), our ākonga are always at the centre of what we do. For more than a century, we've supported learners across Aotearoa — evolving from lessons once delivered on horseback to today's future focused learning that can be done anywhere, anytime.

Ākonga at Te Kura choose subjects based on their passions and interests, accessing learning online supported by kaiako who guide, inspire, and drive engagement. Alongside this, kaiako provide pastoral care and connect with ākonga through regular huinga ako — online or face to face — where learners connect, receive guidance, and strengthen their sense of belonging.

Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this position: 

We are looking for a Student Support Advisor with proven skills and experience in working with young people and who has a good understanding of learning and teaching programmes, including the NZ Curriculum and NZ Qualifications framework. 

As a Student Support Advisor, you will play an important role in the regular review of education needs and programmes of our ākonga to make a difference in their learning journey. 

For this position, we offer a salary range starting from $79,171 to a maximum of $95,668 per annum pro rata. The final salary offer will be determined based on the candidate's unique combination of skills, qualifications, and relevant experience.  

Ko koe tēnei | About you

You'll bring your excellent communication and proven relationship management skills and experience working across a variety of stakeholders, together with your willingness to work collaboratively to meet ākonga needs.  

Te Kura will provide you with the opportunity to learn and grow in a fun and highly supportive environment, be involved in a range of different projects, and work in a team that offers genuine work flexibility. 

Ngā Uara o Te Kura | Our Values

At Te Kura, our values shape how we do things every day, guiding our decisions and actions to support not only ākonga but also the mahi and relationships that make this possible: 

• Manaaki — showing respect, generosity, and care
• Whanaungatanga — building relationships and belonging
• Tika — acting fairly and honestly
• Ākonga at the Centre — guiding every decision we make

Hei whakautu | In return

You will join a supportive, inclusive team where our Te Kura values guide how we work. We offer flexible working options, professional growth opportunities, and the chance to make a meaningful difference for ākonga across Aotearoa.

If you're ready to bring our values to life and support learners in meaningful ways, we'd love to hear from you.
