Leadership Tutor 
Location: Hastings
Full-time | Permanent | LBT Hastings   

About the role:

We are looking for an engaging and motivating Leadership Tutor to deliver our New Zealand Certificate in Leadership (Level 3) from our Hastings campus. This exciting new programme has been designed to help youth and learners looking to upskill to develop the confidence, leadership skills, and workplace behaviours needed to succeed in employment or continue into further study. 

You'll create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where learners can explore their strength, develop communication and teamwork skills, strengthen their problem-solving abilities, and build the confidence to lead themselves and others. This is a highly interactive programme that requires a tutor who can make learning practical, engaging, and relevant to real-world situations. 

About you:

We're looking for someone who is passionate about helping young people develop practical leadership skills and prepare for success in the workplace. You'll be an engaging facilitator who leads by example, inspires and motivates learners, and knows how to adapt your teaching style to keep students engaged and actively involved. 

You will have the following skills and experience: 

• Experience leading or supervising teams in a workplace environment  

• Previous experience working with youth or young adults  

• The ability to engage, motivate and build confidence in learners  

• Strong communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills  

• An understanding of leadership principles and different leadership styles  

• A relevant qualification or industry experience  

• A willingness to complete an adult teaching qualification if not already held  

Teaching experience in a tertiary or adult learning environment is beneficial but not essential. If you've built a successful career leading people and are looking for a rewarding career change where you can inspire the next generation, we'd love to hear from you! 

Why work with us?  

• Our organisation is strong on developing our people and having fun while we do it. We ensure our team feels valued and informed about the direction we are heading in. 
• Rewarding opportunity to lead and foster an environment that support students in their education journey 
• Energetic environment where value is placed on delivering outcomes rather than micro-managing tasks

Questions about your identity help us appreciate the diversity of individuals looking to work with us, ensuring we’re attracting applications from people with identities and perspectives that are as diverse as our students.
