The Anglican Parish of Westland, established in 2023 through the amalgamation of Ross-South Westland and Hokitika parishes, is a diverse community spread across nine recognised communities from Haast to Hokitika.

We need a versatile leader for our various communities, who will help us to continue our exploration of Anglicanism in our unique West Coast setting; build on the foundations of being a beacon in our wider community and enhance the discovery of the divine among our casual visitors. Someone who can help us build on existing relationships including with the local.

Applicants must be an Anglican priest in good standing with their bishop, who already has the right to work in New Zealand and be willing to undertake Police/MOJ vetting. A parish profile and an expression of interest form are available by emailing the Executive Assistant at the Diocese of Christchurch: bishopsea@anglicanlife.org.nz or by phoning 03 348 6701.
