What is supervision and why is this important?

The aim of supervision is to provide good support to those working as chaplains, pastoral carers, Pastors and leaders as well as those working in any agencies in the community.

Supervision also has the potential to assist with personal and professional development. It is a great way to engage with a qualified person in reflective practice, self care and transformative learning. Meeting with someone every one to two months in a safe, supportive and confidential space is valuable to our health and growth as professional carers.

How can I find a supervisor?

Chaplaincy New Zealand is currently investigating ways of releasing trained supervisors into our midst. In 2021, several of our members will be starting professional supervision training to ensure we have supervisors available to our chaplains and pastors within the Assemblies of God movement. We will post their details on this page when their training is completed. Currently our chaplains will need to find supervisors from within their own locality
