About Us
The Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart are a Catholic religious congregation involved in a variety of charitable ministries. Education, in its broadest sense, remains their main work.
The Congregation is governed by the Congregational Leader and her Leadership Team, and each region is led by a Regional Leadership Team. The local communities of the Sisters living in New South Wales form the NSW Region, which is the largest region in the Congregation.
We are seeking an experienced and driven Operations Manager to support the NSW Regional Leadership Team in its work.

You will ensure that all finance matters for the Region are adequately carried out; develop and monitor the regional financial budget; monitor expenditure and forecasts; and liaise with the Regional Leadership Team and the Congregational Finance Team regarding financial matters.
With direct management responsibility for a team of seven staff, you will assist the Regional Leadership Team with strategic matters to support the ministries and lives of the NSW Sisters, including but not limited to risk management.
You will provide strategic oversight of the Region’s property portfolio, including acquisitions, disposals, and lease arrangements, ensuring appropriate systems, service providers, and governance arrangements are in place, and liaise with the Congregational Property Services Manager as required.
Other responsibilities include oversight of the NSW vehicle fleet, including motor vehicle usage, insurances, renewals, purchases, disposals, and replacements, and management of the relationship with the third‑party fleet management provider.
This is a permanent, full-time position based in the Congregation’s Regional Administration Centre in Croydon, Sydney. Travel within Sydney and to regional NSW will be required.

Excellent communication skills and demonstrated capacity to work effectively with stakeholders
