We’re adding to our team! Capernwray New Zealand is looking for people to serve with us starting in September 2025.
While we prefer to have someone commit for 12 months, we occasionally consider those who are only able to serve for a shorter time (e.g. 6 or 9 months).
The positions we are currently hoping to fill are in the following teams..
Hospitality (housekeeping and catering) from January 2026
Maintenance (from January 2026)
ABS Assistant (volunteer or internship)
Domestic Manager Assistant (volunteer or internship)
Admin / Personal Assistant for National Director (volunteer or internship)
Learn & Serve
Our volunteers serve as part of a wonderful team in a variety of support roles, designed to enhance the experience of Bible School for our students and conferences / camps and functions for our guests.
In addition to practical work tasks and gaining new skills, volunteers have opportunities to occasionally sit-in on lectures, participate in family group activity, Bible studies and other aspects of the Bible School programme.
Volunteers are provided full board (accommodation and meals) and some other practical benefits to support living costs while serving.
