Working at St Francis Xavier College

“I am the Way, the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6)

St Francis Xavier College is a Catholic community that is educative and supportive of the whole person. We have a clear purpose: the individuals’ development of competence, conscience and compassion formed in the Christian tradition in light of the Scriptures; one who is guided by a sense of Christian faith, hope and love who will be of service to the world. We recognise God’s presence in our lives by being a living witness to Jesus, celebrating and pursuing excellence and by living courageously with optimism and respect for the dignity of all.

St Francis Xavier College prides itself on providing all staff with an inclusive, engaging and supportive workplace.  The College has a contemporary approach to wellbeing fostering an environment for professional and personal growth.  We are seeking student-centred, achievement-focused professionals, able to support and inspire young people. We are proud to have a diverse team of staff ranging from graduates to those well experienced.

The College offers a wide range of opportunities for leadership, an ICT rich environment, opportunities to be involved in social justice outreach, domestic and international student study tours and a range of staff social events.
