From responding to 111 calls to supporting people to stay healthy through our mahi in health education, access, and monitoring, we are making life-changing differences every day.

Ko wai mātou - About us:

We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated First Aid Tutor to join our training team in Blenheim, New Zealand. As a First Aid Tutor, you will deliver engaging and high-quality first aid training courses to both corporate clients and members of the general public.

This is an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful difference in your community by equipping individuals with life-saving skills and knowledge. You will work in a supportive, collaborative environment where your passion for education and commitment to learner success are truly valued.

• Deliver comprehensive first aid training courses to diverse audiences, ensuring content is engaging, accessible, and results-driven
• Assess learner progress and provide constructive feedback to support skill development and confidence building
• Maintain detailed records of course attendance, learner performance, and training outcomes
• Collaborate with colleagues and organisational leadership to continuously improve training delivery and course content
• Stay current with first aid protocols, best practices, and relevant regulatory requirements through ongoing professional development
• Provide exceptional customer service to course participants and corporate clients, addressing questions and concerns with professionalism and empathy

This is a permanent, part-time position working 20 hours/week. Travel within the Blenheim region will be as needed to deliver training at client locations.

We deliver courses 7 days a week so, although not regular, some weekend work is necessary. Your days can be long so you will need to be available outside of a usual 9-5 day. We ensure you are given rostered days/hours off to compensate for any additional hours.

Your hard work will be rewarded by a great starting salary of $62,944, with an increase once signed off to teach independently to $64,504. You'll also receive uniform, professional development, great work stories, and the deep satisfaction that comes from making a life changing difference to individuals in your community.

Ko wai koe - About you:

• Ideally, experience in adult education, workshop facilitation, or training delivery
• Full driver's license with confidence and reliability on the road
• Current, valid First Aid certification/qualification (or willingness to obtain immediately upon hire)
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to connect with and motivate people from all backgrounds and experience levels
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly and engagingly
• Outstanding organisational and planning skills with meticulous attention to detail
• Flexibility and adaptability to work outside standard business hours when required
• Enthusiasm for continuous learning and commitment to completing relevant adult education qualifications
• Strong commitment to inclusive, supportive, and empathetic teaching practices
