Boarding Year Level Manager
Term time
We are looking for a caring, capable leader to shape the boarding experience for our students at Nga Tawa.
Our wonderful Boarding Manager is off on a new adventure, and now we’re looking for the right person to take the reins and continue creating a safe, warm, and inspiring environment for our boarding students.
At Nga Tawa, a special character girls’ school in Marton, we believe that boarding is about more than just a place to sleep. It’s about connection, confidence, and community.
This is a leadership role where you'll work closely with our Director of Wellbeing, be part of a dedicated boarding team, and make a lasting impact on young women during some of the most formative years of their lives.
It’s a chance to be part of a team that wraps around our students, supporting them to grow into strong, resilient young women. This role is parent-facing, so it is important to be able to maintain good relationships with our Nga Tawa community.
Boarding can be a rewarding and meaningful career pathway, and we are committed to helping you grow in the role. We will support you to gain professional qualifications through the New Zealand Boarding Schools’ Association, and provide opportunities to grow your skills, confidence, and leadership experience. There is opportunity for this role to grow into a more senior position.
We’re looking for someone with:
A background in education, youth work, healthcare, or similar people-focused roles is a bonus, but we’re really looking for someone who wants to make a difference and foster a warm, supportive environment where our girls can grow and flourish.
Days and hours are negotiable. Term-time evenings and weekends will be required. Includes 10 weeks of leave annually. This can be either a salaried position or paid per hour.
Interested? Let’s talk.
Send your cover letter, CV and completed application form to our Director of Wellbeing, Cara Ferris, at employment@ngatawa.school.nz
Start date: Negotiable
Applications close: Friday 18 July
