Principals urged to fill teaching roles

The world’s largest education recruitment agency, Randstad Education, is calling on New Zealand’s principals to contact the company to fill remaining teaching roles for the 2019 year.

Katherine Swan, Country Director, Randstad New Zealand said school leaders should take advantage of some of the 700 plus teachers who want to move to New Zealand.

“The new school year is almost upon us and we are committed to partnering with schools and principals to fill these roles with qualified, international teachers to ensure a strong start,” Swan said.

Randstad has been working closely with the Ministry of Education and principals across New Zealand since last September to help fill classrooms with high quality international teachers.

The company’s rigorous recruitment process is designed to guarantee only top candidates with the most relevant experience are selected. 

Since advertising the opportunities available, international teachers have been rushing to take up the chance of working in the country.

“New Zealand has a strong reputation for its high calibre education system,” Swan said.

“The country’s high standard of living also makes it a very attractive place for quality teachers to work.”

Randstad is providing the necessary support to ensure teachers coming from overseas experience a smooth transition.
