Plumbing Tutor

Full-time, Permanent Role

About the role | Te kaupapa

Key responsibilities of this tutoring role include facilitating teaching, learning and assessment for Plumbing, Drainlaying and Gasfitting students, with courses including a strong hands-on practical learning component.

Teaching qualifications and experience are not essential for this position for you to apply, however you must possess the following qualities to ensure you have the potential to quickly grow into an effective tutor: patience, adaptability, positive attitude, good communication skills and a reasonable level of physical fitness. 

To be successful, you will have experience in the industry and a relevant qualification (i.e. New Zealand Certificate or National Certificate in either Plumbing, Drainlaying or Gasfitting) and be a Licensed Practitioner or hold a Certifying qualification. Applicants with multiple licence classes will be at an advantage, but we are also interested in talking with Drainlayers and Gasfitters, as there is scope to specialize.

Successful applicants who do not already hold a teaching qualification will be supported to complete a Certificate in Adult Tertiary Teaching, or a similar tertiary teaching qualification, through on-the-job training and development. We will, of course, provide full support throughout this process.

The role is based at WelTec’s main campus in Petone. Applicants will be required to undertake a police vetting check in order to work with young people and should hold a current driver’s license.
