The Opportunity We seek an engaging, suitably qualified, and experienced Chaplain to provide inspirational spiritual leadership and pastoral care across our Anglican schools community.
We are highly flexible regarding the structure of this role and are open to a conversation about what works best for the right candidate. We are equally welcoming of applications for a part-time chaplaincy (ideal for those wishing to maintain parish commitments) or a full-time chaplaincy.

As Campus Chaplain, you will:
Lead the worshipping life of our combined school community with creativity and energy, celebrating the sacraments pursuant to a Bishop's Licence and in accordance with the doctrine of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia.

Inspire and engage students with service programmes across both schools and the wider campus, empowering them to live out their faith through action within our community.
Support the spiritual formation and wellbeing of students through chapel services, classroom visits, small groups, and one-on-one pastoral conversations.
Deliver Religious Education (RE) and/or Philosophy and Religious Studies (PRS) classes, depending on the agreed FTE and teaching component of your role.
Strengthen connections between our school communities and the wider Body of Christ, fostering partnerships with local parishes, Anglican agencies, and faith-based initiatives.
The successful applicant will:
Be an inspiring, relatable speaker who connects authentically with children, young people, staff, and families across diverse age groups.
Have demonstrated experience providing pastoral care and school-based chaplaincy within a Christian educational setting.
Show a proven ability to nurture spiritual growth, resilience, and wellbeing in students from Year 1 through to Year 13.
Be adaptable and open to a flexible role structure, embracing either a part-time chaplaincy or a full-time role that incorporates teaching.
Possess excellent communication, organisational, and collaborative leadership skills.
Bring a caring, warm, proactive, and culturally responsive approach, grounded in Anglican tradition and open to ecumenical engagement.
Demonstrate an understanding of contemporary issues in education and youth development.
Model spiritual commitment and actively participate in school life and community activities.
