Selection Criteria:
Applicants should provide evidence of their experience and ability to meet the following selection criteria
- Demonstrated experience in addressing a range of student wellbeing needs, both through individual counselling and facilitation of small group therapeutic programs.
- Demonstrated experience in working in effective teams and demonstrated experience in developing new initiatives.
- Demonstrated experience in keeping confidential, professional records and case notes.
- Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills, including the demonstrated ability to network with a wide range of people.
- Ability to provide leadership and professional learning that informs and influences the work of others involved in the engagement and wellbeing of children and young people.
- Demonstrated ongoing commitment to developing professional understanding and expertise in the area of student wellbeing.
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.
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 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:
Position Description
- An understanding of traumainformed practice, restorative justice principles and the necessary skills to engage young people with multiple and complex needs
- Work collaboratively with School Leadership and Wellbeing Team to address needs and establish an effective work plan based on needs within the school.
