Current Vacancies

At Dilworth School and Trust Office, we are committed to providing all students with a first-class education in a working environment where employees feel a sense of purpose and pride.

Dilworth is an independent boys' boarding school with an Anglican tradition, offering fully funded scholarships for young men from families who want to provide them with the best opportunities possible. We pride ourselves on achieving very strong academic, cultural and sporting results, providing a safe and inclusive environment and assisting Dilworth students in becoming the very best they can be.

Dilworth is a child-safe organisation and is committed to respecting ākonga, listening to their views, and taking action to keep them safe at all times. We provide a safe and inclusive environment and have gone through an extensive period of change over the last four years. In September 2025, Dilworth School successfully achieved reaccreditation through the Australian Childhood Foundation’s (ACF) Safeguarding Children Programme. Previously, Dilworth was accredited with Childwise, becoming the first school in Aotearoa, New Zealand, to do so in 2022.
