Across Aotearoa, our volunteer 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 (SLSNZ) 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 a highly respected sport. This is a great opportunity to join a talented team who are dedicated to helping achieve our vision of “No-one drowns at the beach in Aotearoa New Zealand”.
People are at the heart of everything we do; we support our clubs, volunteers, and each other through our collective values of:
Collaboration • Integrity • Respect • Wellbeing • Fun

What You’ll Bring
- Strong admin and planning skills
- Experience with events or sport
- Tech-savvy and a confident communicator
- Able to juggle multiple deadlines
- Passion for surf lifesaving or sport a bonus
