About Northern Districts Cricket Association
Northern Districts (ND) is one of six Major Associations that make up New Zealand Cricket. ND is an inclusive and flexible employer which is focused to develop great people and grow professional skillsets. We take great pride in the vision “Connecting People, Creating Memories” which is supported by three core values; ‘Stronger Together’, ‘Build on Our Foundations’ and ‘Play Our Way’. With three international venues across the region (Cobham Oval, Seddon Park and Bay Oval), the staffing team is based across various locations inclusive of the primary office at Seddon Park and other regional offices in Tauranga/Whangarei/Gisborne, as well as remotely. Our flagship teams are Northern Districts, Northern Brave and Northern Maori, with the regional ‘heartbeat’ through our community game and participants.

About the Role

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates in Thames, Rotorua, Taupō, Tokoroa, Whakatāne and Tauranga.
