Work at NZMA
Are you looking to be part of an awesome team?
We’re often asked what sets NZMA apart – and that’s an easy one to answer. It is, quite simply, our people.
Our team comes from a wide range of educational and cultural backgrounds and offer a broad diversity of professional experience. But they all have one thing in common – they are all firm believers in the power of education to transform lives and they all have the drive to make a significant impact in the communities with which they work.
If you want to work with a team making a real difference in the community then get in touch. You don’t need to have a background in teaching or education.
NZMA encompasses two other institutions: the New Zealand Institute of Sport, a sports and fitness school, and The Culinary Collective, NZMA's cooking and baking school.
We are part of Up Education and proudly hold a Category 1 provider rating on NZQA's EER, which is the highest possible rating for providers. NZMA Group is affiliated with a larger network of private colleges across New Zealand and Australia, meaning we also offer opportunities beyond the schools mentioned above.
Due to our scale, we can provide career progression in various teaching disciplines and roles, with dynamic opportunities for high achievers in different locations across New Zealand and Australia.
