Nga Tawa Diocesan School is a special character boarding and day school for girls in Years 9 - 13. For over 131 years, we’ve helped young women discover their passions and grow into confident, capable individuals. At the heart of our school is our Anglican faith, which shapes who we are and what we do.

We’re looking for a School Chaplain to enhance our Anglican character and support the spiritual well-being of our students, staff, and wider school community. This is a flexible role, with approximately 20 hours per week dedicated to chaplaincy. The role includes:

· Leading weekly worship and celebratory events.

· Supporting our team of Sacristans.

· Organising workshops and forums to help students explore their faith.

· Guide and support our students in their faith journey.

There are a few options as to how this role can be structured. The chaplain element of the role is approximately 20 hours a week. There are up to 40 hours available if you are able to teach our Religious Education programme. This programme is well-developed, offering students from Years 9 to 13 meaningful opportunities to engage with Christian values, reflect on their faith, and explore its relevance in today’s world. There is also the possibility of sharing the role across two positions as we are currently doing.

Ordination is not a requirement, as you will have support from the Priest in Charge at our local parish, St Stephen’s. However, we are happy to support you in an ordination journey.

Onsite accommodation is available.

We’re looking for someone who is approachable, inspiring, and motivated to nurture the spiritual growth of our students. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
