Youth tutor

New Zealand Management Academies (NZMA) is one of NZ’s largest Private Training Establishments offering vocational courses and qualifications across a range of programmes. We deliver top quality training on real-world skills in some of the fastest-growing fields today (hospitality, health, trades and more!).

About the role: 

This is a 4.5 month fixed-term engagement covering for paternity leave, with an ideal start date of 15 January 2025 at our Hamilton campus.

As a Youth Tutor you will ensure that each NZMA Youth Guarantee student is provided with an optimal total learning experience – where they are welcomed into the Campus and treated with cultural understanding and respect. You will also provide quality teaching and learning support, guidance and help and assist the students in their transition to higher education and ultimately employment. 

The Youth Tutor will provide support to the students within and outside of the classroom to help our youth succeed and transition into adult learning. The Youth tutor will successfully embed Literacy, Language and Numeracy (LLN) principles into the learning context and build the student's functional skills to support retention and successful outcomes. 

External support will include building and utilising strong community contacts and developing a strong understanding of support systems available for our youth students to succeed. 

About you: 

We are looking for someone who has previous experience working with youth in alternative education or youth development sectors and who are aware of the unique challenges youth bring.

• Strong background working with youth
• Strong classroom management skills
• Ability to excite and install passion through your teaching 
• Experience teaching youth or adult learners in a tertiary/relevant education environment preferred but not essential
• Experience within the trades Industry, preferred but not essential. 

If you have good experience working with youth and are passionate about for making a positive impact on the lives of the future generation but not necessarily teaching experience, we'd still love to hear from you!
