 Permanent – Part-time or Full-time (Flexible arrangements available) 

Our Anglican Schools Community St George's School and Whanganui Collegiate School form a distinctive, values-driven Anglican educational community in the heart of Whanganui, providing exceptional education across the full learning journey from Years 1–13. 

St George's School (Years 1–8) is an independent, co-educational Anglican day school founded in 1927, dedicated to growing "faithful and daring citizens who are prepared for tomorrow." Guided by the motto Fidus et Audax (Faithful and Daring), St George's delivers a Curriculum of Discovery that nurtures curiosity, courage, and compassion. 

Whanganui Collegiate School (Years 9–13) is a leading Anglican co-educational, seven-day boarding and day school with 172 years of educational excellence. A Round Square Global school, Collegiate offers Cambridge IGCSE at Year 11 and fosters global citizenship, leadership, and service. 

Both schools share a beautiful, historic campus and world-class facilities, including the Chapel, Prince Edward Auditorium, and sporting precincts, creating a seamless, supportive environment where students thrive spiritually, academically, and socially. 

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. Please note that a full-time appointment would require the inclusion of a Philosophy and Religious Studies (PRS) teaching component across the campus. 

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. 

Act as a vital member of the pastoral care team, providing service leadership and building warm, trusting relationships with students across both schools. 

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. 

Hold current teacher registration (essential for the full-time teaching component; advantageous, but not essential for a part-time chaplaincy-only arrangement).
