Salary:
Salary not specified

Occupation:
Education and Training

Reference:

Selection Criteria:

SC1 Demonstrated capacity to engage and work with young people to address social, emotional and educational needs, including attendance.

SC2 Highly developed communication, networking and interpersonal skills, including the ability to liaise effectively with the community and beyond.

SC3 Demonstrated capacity to work in a team environment.

Sc4 Demonstrated commitment to professional learning and growth for both self and others.

Role:

A strong commitment to wellbeing and educational outcomes of young people.

Demonstrated experience, skills, expertise and knowledge in supporting the wellbeing of students. A current and recognised counselling, youth work or social work qualification is required.

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.

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 employee¿s 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:

Work collaboratively with the wellbeing team to address the wellbeing and educational needs of students.

Provision of student support responses.
