Catholic Education, Diocese of Cairns

Thank you for your interest in working for Catholic Education, Diocese of Cairns, where finding the perfect work-life balance is both achievable and encouraged. 

Our vision: Offer every student in every school a world class education enriched by their lived encounter with the Catholic Faith.

To fulfil that vision, we need the best people to join our team, to make our schools the very best they can be.

The 30 Catholic schools and colleges of our Cairns Diocese educate almost 11,500 students – from Tully in the South, west to the Atherton Tablelands, and north to the Torres Strait. A Catholic education provides an educational foundation for life to the full; a quality education that is not merely academic, but also focuses on full development of the child – intellectually, spiritually, physically, morally and emotionally. We challenge our students to find meaning and value in their lives, develop communal obligations and aspirations, espouse values which unite society infused by a commitment to social justice, and become compassionate and contributing members of our world.

You will join your 17 ESS colleagues, working closely with the HR team, and reporting to the Manager, Human Resources (or delegate). You will be based within the head office (Catholic Education Services), where we provide professional services and system-wide support to our schools and colleges.
