Caritas is managed through a Council, which has the full power and authority to supervise, manage and implement the aims and objectives of the organisation.

The Board of Management derives its power and authority from the Council. It supervises the execution and implementation of the Council's decisions and ensures that the operations of the Organisation are in accordance with the aims and objectives of Caritas. By powers delegated to it by the Council, the Board of Management controls, regulates and manages all properties and affairs of the organisation.

The Executive Team, consisting of the Chief Executive and his senior aides, is responsible for implementing the plans and decisions of the Council and its Board of Management.

The Executive Team deals with overall planning and management, communications and co-ordination, the allocation of resources, human resources management, administration and financial matters of the Organisation as a whole. It steers the work of the various Services and Centres in close consultation with the heads of Division, Services and Social Centres.

Most of Caritas services are within four major areas which are grouped under three Service Divisions (Social Work, Education, Medical) and Other Services.

The Divisions are responsible for the implementation of the Organisation's policy, together with their own Service Division aims and objectives. They also manage and coordinate their overall activities and evaluation.

The Divisions are guided and advised by respective Committees which are composed of members of the public with special expertise.
