The Opportunity
Digital Learning Specialist Auckland, Newmarket | Full-time | Education & Training
  
This is a training role with a difference. Based at a vocational IT institute in Newmarket, you'll be delivering hands-on technology programmes in an open, office-style learning environment, the kind of place where students feel like they're already in industry. Your job is to help learners gain the skills and confidence to land their first IT role.
  
We're looking for someone who has lived both sides, real industry experience in web development, computer engineering, infrastructure, or cloud. Less important is the experience in training, we will train you in teaching. You don't need to come from a traditional classroom background; what matters is that you can connect with diverse learners, make technical content engaging, and genuinely care about student outcomes.
  
The Role
  
You'll design, deliver, assess, and continuously improve technology focused training programmes aligned to NZQA requirements. This includes:
  
  • Delivering engaging, industry relevant IT programmes across computer engineering, infrastructure, and cloud
  • Assessing student work and providing meaningful, timely feedback
  • Supporting students holistically, identifying those at risk early and putting plans in place
  • Maintaining accurate student progress records and contributing to reporting
  • Participating in moderation and contributing to programme improvement
  • Bringing real industry insight into the training room to build student work-readiness
What We're Looking For
  
Must have:
  • Energy to drive student motivation
  • Solid industry background in web development, computer engineering, infrastructure, and/or cloud technologies
  • Genuine commitment to student success and helping people into employment
  • Strong communicator, organized, and able to engage a diverse learner group
  • Values-driven and student centered in your approach
Nice to have:
  • Experience in training, facilitation, or coaching, formal or informal
  • Training or assessment credentials (or willingness to obtain them)
