Education Consultant

Position: Education Consultant
Commencing Date:  January 2021
Classification: Full Time, Permanent
Closing Date: Monday, 2nd November 2020

Townsville Catholic Education (TCE) supports 29 schools within the Diocese, located throughout a diverse region including urban and rural environments extending to Mount Isa to the west, Proserpine to the south and north to Ingham.  TCE provides a diverse range of education choices including primary, secondary and Prep-to-Year 12.  Each setting provides a high educational standard in a caring and a stimulating environment. The Diocese has a growing Indigenous education program and some of our schools offer both boarding and day-student facilities.

TCE employs in excess of 2,500 teaching, professional and ancillary/support employees to fulfil our mission of providing quality educational services through our Catholic school communities. A Catholic education involves much more than simply teaching the educational basics.  It encourages students to embrace Catholic values and faith while providing them with an excellent education and diverse life experiences that will prepare them to be a contributing member of the community in their adult lives.

The proud reputation Catholic schools enjoy within the Diocese today is based on the strong tradition built by religious orders who found Catholic Education in the Townsville Diocese in 1872.

About the Role

Reporting to the Director School Development Services, The Education Consultant exists to support the Executive Director in the promotion of excellence in schools by mentoring, monitoring and supervising the leadership of Principals in the development of Townsville Catholic Education Office (TCEO) Schools as centres of quality teaching and learning.

It is a position of senior leadership and management that is specifically oriented to the integration of TCE perspectives (including the TCE “Strategic Directions”) with those of local school communities.

There are three Education Consultants for TCE. Each works primarily with principals and other school leaders in nine or ten primary and secondary schools located in both urban and rural settings across the Diocese. In doing so, the Education Consultant exercises leadership across five significant domains: Catholic Identity, Education, Stewardship, Community and Future Focus.
