Job Description
Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is bold and unapologetically different, centred on students and grounded in Knowledge that Works driven by talented, progressive people. We are New Zealand’s newest university, ranked 5-stars by QS Universities 2025 and a place of opportunity where more than 26,000 students with talent and potential succeed, supported by a community of more than 4,000 staff based primarily across three Auckland campuses. Built on collaboration, shared purpose and the values of Pono (fact, truth, reality, integrity), Tika (acting accordingly, doing what is needed, ethical expression), and Aroha (empathy, care, compassion). AUT offers an innovative, forward-thinking environment where committed people work together to improve outcomes for students, communities, and the world.
AUT recognises the importance of Te Tiriti, Māori and Pacific knowledge, leadership, and contribution across our university and is committed to creating environments where these communities can thrive. We embrace diversity in all its forms and are proud to welcome people of all ethnicities, genders, ****** orientations, religious and political beliefs, socio-economic situations and accessibility needs.
The Opportunity | Te Whiwhinga mahi
We are seeking applications for an Evaluative/visiting Lecturer to work in the Bachelor of Education (Primary) and Master of Teaching and Learning (Primary) programmes. This is a contract position to visit, support and evaluate student teachers on practicum placements. Applicants should state their experience in mentoring as senior teachers and knowledge of the appropriate sector in Aotearoa New Zealand. Ability to speak Te Reo Māori, Samoan or Tongan language is an advantage.
About you | Ko wai koe
If you’re the kind of person who isn’t afraid to try new things, explore bold ideas and inject real energy and passion into the entire university experience - you’ll fit right in.
As an academic member of staff at AUT, you’ll blend teaching, research and engagement to create outcomes that have real impact on the world. You’ll work closely with students, collaborate across disciplines and contribute to projects alongside our industry and community partners. With room to experiment, develop your skills and refine your practice, you’ll be supported to make a practical, impactful contribution to both learning and discovery.
You will bring an open, engaging, and collaborative approach, with the flexibility to respond to changing requirements, and actively contribute to a positive and collegial environment. You will demonstrate cultural humility, awareness, and respect when engaging with indigenous peoples and culturally diverse communities. Experience supporting indigenous, equity, or inclusion focused initiatives is highly desirable.
Please note that current teacher registration and a full practising certificate with the Teaching Council of New Zealand is mandatory. The successful applicants will be required to travel across Auckland to visit students at their practicum school.
The role would suit a recently retired middle or senior leader, teachers who are working part-time and teacher educators who have previous experience in Initial Teacher Education. We are unable to accept applications from teachers who are working full-time in schools.
