The successful applicant needs to have current NZ teacher registration (preferred) or a Limited Authority to Teach (LAT).

A valid NZ Driver Licence and a reliable vehicle are required, as the role includes some travel to schools outside the Christchurch metropolitan area. Travel expenses will be provided.

All itinerant music teachers regularly engage in collaborative team meetings with a focus on professional development, including a current focus on Tikanga and te reo Māori.
