Full-time Jobs in Cairns
Looking for stability? Full-time permanent roles in Cairns come with guaranteed hours, paid annual and sick leave, and the security to plan ahead, rent, borrow and build a life in the Far North.
The strongest full-time employers in the region are health care, education, construction, government services, tourism operations and professional services. The Cairns hospital precinct alone anchors thousands of permanent positions, and the city's role as the service hub for Cape York and the Torres Strait adds government and logistics roles you will not find in other regional centres.
Cairns also offers a cost of living and commute that southern capitals cannot match, which is why many workers move north for a permanent role and stay. The full-time listings below are posted directly by local employers. Apply straight to the business, no recruiter gatekeeping.
