The 30 Catholic schools and colleges of the Cairns Diocese educate over 12,000 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.
Our vision is to offer every student in every school a world class education enriched by their lived encounter with the Catholic Faith.

The position also oversees the administration of staff housing, relocation and associated financial processes, requiring strong attention to detail and record management. In addition, you will support the Chief Financial & Operating Officer and Manager – Financial Services with a range of administrative tasks contributing to the effective delivery of financial and operational services across the organisation.
