Transform lives, every single day
Do you want a career that means more? At Anglicare Sydney, we bring the strength, the support and the strategy to make it happen.
We’re a well-respected not-for-profit that’s been serving people in need for over 170 years. Our vision is simple yet powerful: Jesus Christ honoured, lives enriched and communities strengthened.
As our Community Chaplain - Housing, you’ll create connections in the community to give help for today and hope for tomorrow among marginalised people in Botany, including within Anglicare’s Safe and Affordable Housing facility there.
Working alongside Botany Anglican Church and Anglicare services, you’ll build genuine relationships and combine practical care, pastoral ministry and gospel friendship to help people experience connection, belonging and hope.
Be welcomed into a compassionate, respectful and purpose-driven community where we don’t just talk about values - we live them.
Your opportunity

You’ll spend time where people are - building relationships through one-to-one conversations, community activities and practical support. You’ll help connect people with services that can meet their physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs, while creating opportunities to explore faith and connect with the life of the local church.
Working in partnership with Port Kembla Anglican Church, Anglicare Housing and our Community & Mission services, you’ll help strengthen the bridge between church, housing and community.

What you’ll bring
You’re a humble, relational and servant-hearted Christian leader who is comfortable meeting people where they are.
You have a heart for people experiencing disadvantage and understand that meaningful ministry starts with trust, consistency and genuine relationships. You’re able to communicate the gospel clearly while also recognising and responding compassionately to people’s practical, emotional, social and spiritual needs.
You’ll bring a gospel-centred, Bible-based and relational approach to ministry, together with the ability to work collaboratively with church leaders, Anglicare teams, volunteers and community organisations.
