Caring for New Zealand's sporting community.

We’re hiring! National Director, Sports Chaplaincy New Zealand

Do you know someone with vision, heart, and leadership skills who could guide a growing nationwide movement in sport and wellbeing?

Sports Chaplaincy New Zealand is on the lookout for a passionate, strategic leader to take up the role of National Director.

Since 2013, we’ve been supporting athletes, coaches, teams, and sporting communities across Aotearoa with trained volunteer chaplains who offer free, personal support and pastoral care. With over 110 chaplains across 23 sports, our reach is growing – and we’re ready for the next chapter.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a national organisation at the intersection of sport, care, and community connection. You’ll support a committed staff and regional team, build strong relationships across sport and community groups, and champion a movement that brings care and presence into the heart of Kiwi sport.

Applications close 27 June 2025.
