Education Administrator
· Passionate about saving lives and developing and supporting great New Zealanders?
· Represent and advocate on behalf of 1000’s of amazing volunteers
Across Aotearoa, our surf lifeguards have saved thousands of lives and ensured millions have come home safe after a day at the beach since 1910!
Surf Life Saving New Zealand is truly unique, delivering proactive surf lifeguarding and essential emergency rescue services, a range of public education beach safety programmes and campaigns, member education, training and development as well as being a highly respected sport.
We do all this as a for-purpose organisation and while we are well supported by central and local government we are not fully funded, so rely on the generosity of the public, commercial partners, foundations and trusts for donations and financial contributions in order to lead and support our incredible front line volunteer lifeguarding services.
This is a great opportunity to join a passionate and talented team who are dedicated to helping achieve our vision that “no-one drowns at the beach in Aotearoa New Zealand”, whilst taking the next step in your career.
We’re looking for an Education Administrator to provide essential administration support for our national member education framework. This role ensures awards, qualifications and education records are processed accurately, clubs are supported, and our education systems run smoothly.
If you’re organised, digitally confident, and enjoy supporting others, this could be the role for you.
The role can be based at any SLSNZ Office (Auckland, Mt Maunganui, Gisborne, Wellington, Christchurch or Dunedin). Part-Time, 25hrs per week, fixed term until 30th June 2026.
If you are keen to join our amazing team and make your mark, please send in a cover letter and CV by 5pm Sunday 25th January 2026
