Sydney, New South Wales, Australia NSW Government -Teaching Service Full time

Position Information:

The NSW Centre for Effective Reading (NSWCER) is a NSW Department of Education and NSW Health initiative. NSWCER is a state-wide service for students referred from eligible government and non-government schools.

NSWCER supports primary aged, rural and remote students with complex reading difficulties who have been identified and accepted for a direct service.

NSWCER has hubs located in Dubbo, Wagga Wagga and the Sydney metropolitan area with a multidisciplinary team consisting of Speech Pathologists, Psychologists and classroom teachers to provide the best support and intervention for students.


School counsellors provide psychological assessment of students to complement the work of teachers to strengthen student learning and wellbeing outcomes, and they help families understand and manage their children's learning and mental health needs.

This is a truly collegiate role offering unique challenges and opportunities - both in your professional development and your ability to make an impact on the lives of children and young people.


School counsellors receive regular, individual professional supervision with the Senior Psychologist Education and participate in group and peer supervision as a member of the broader district school counselling team.

You will be collaborating with a number of school communities and colleagues, as well as outside agencies, with the opportunity to use and expand the full range of your skills and expertise as part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team.

School counsellors are provided with regular opportunities to participate in continuing professional development. The NSW Department of Education will support you to maintain your registration with the Psychology Board of Australia. Other benefits include school holiday leave, travel allowances, and health and wellbeing benefits such as our Fitness Passport program. The department will also cover your indemnity insurance as a psychologist.

Selection Criteria:

We are looking for School Counsellors with qualifications in Education and Psychology.

To be successful in these roles you will have:

  • Teaching qualifications and eligibility for an approval to teach in NSW Department of Education schools
  • Be a registered or provisionally registered psychologist, or eligible for registration with the Psychology Board of Australia
  • Have demonstrated understanding of the mental health needs of children and young people
  • Experience in counselling children and young people using evidencebased interventions
  • Wellrounded experience in assessment for students presenting with complex learning difficulties
  • Highly competent in using technology to support the delivery of telepsychology.
  • Welldeveloped interpersonal, oral and written communication skills, including report writing
