Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Schools (Government) Full time

Location:
Melbourne | Southern Metropolitan

Job type:
Full time / From 28/08/2023

Organisation:
Schools (Government)

Salary:
Salary not specified

Occupation:
Education and Training

Reference:

Selection Criteria:

SC1 Proven ability to provide wellbeing services to students and the school community.


SC2 Proven ability to lead, develop and implement programs, procedures and policies that address the social, emotional and educational needs of students at risk in the College.


SC3 Ability to manage individual support including counselling and case management for students and their families, and to work with external agencies.

SC4 Ability to develop and maintain networks to enhance provision of effective services for students at risk.


SC5 Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills, including the ability to work with all stake holders, liaising effectively with a wide range of people within the educational community and beyond.


Role:

Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field.

It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs.


Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved.

This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.

The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility.

Staff management issues will be resolved with mínimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases.

Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations.

This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered.

Professional support and guidance will be close at hand and deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.


An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students, but must not include duties of teaching as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor.

Supervision of students cannot be required except where it is an integral part of the employees position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.


Responsibilities:

The responsibilities of this position include:

  • Counselling, using a range of therapeutic interventions and knowledge of risk and protective framework
  • Psychosocial assessments of students (including crisis management/risk assessments)
  • Case management including consultation with a range of stakeholders involved with a student and/or their family
  • Develop and organise evidencebased programs that assist students to be resourceful and resilient at school and beyond, such as Bullying Prevention
  • Facilitate small groups of students to improve connectedness to school
  • Coordinate and support new students to transition smoothly into the College
  • Work cooperatively within a multidisciplinary team
  • Build positive relationships with students
  • Work with families and organise parenting forums
  • Promote student wellbeing to the school community, such as via newsletters, bulletins, noticeboards, etc
  • Work cooperatively with community service agencies and refer students/families where necessary
  • Liaise closely with all relevant members of staff
  • Maintain accurate records
  • Other duties as directed by the Principal Class Team and/or Wellbeing Leader

Who May Apply:

Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.

EEO AND OHS Commitment:

The Department values diversity and is committed to workforce diversity and equal opportunity in schools and all education workplaces.

The Department recognises that the provision of family friendly, supportive, safe and harassment free workplaces is essential to high performance and promotes flexible work, diversity and safety across all schools and Department workplaces.
