Work with us

Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa (formerly Family Planning) is staffed by more than 200 people — working with communities from Northland through to Invercargill.  

Medical receptionists, health promoters, and contact centre staff are the faces of our organisation. A kind, capable, and diverse client facing team is critical to providing an accessible sexual wellbeing service. 
 
Nurses and doctors provide essential sexual health services to our communities.  
 
We couldn’t keep our mahi moving without a strong team of specialists in:

• Finance
• Communications
• Human resources
• Professional training and development
• International development
• Management
• Information technology

We value lived experience. If you don’t meet all the suggested criteria for an advertised position, we would still love to receive your application.
