Melbourne, Australia Education Full time

Location: Melbourne | Southern Metropolitan

Job type: Full time / From 17/07/2023 - 16/07/2024

Organisation: Education

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1352168

**Selection Criteria**:

- SC1- Relevant qualification in psychology/ AASW eligible social work/ counselling or other relevant fields
- SC2 - Demonstrated capacity to work effectively with a range of people including teachers, education support staff, students, parents, and the ability to liaise with external organisations.
- SC3 - Excellent counselling/therapeutic skills when working 1-1 with secondary aged students with complex mental health issues, and experience in case management and safeguarding children and young people.
- SC4 - Demonstrated ability to input into the development, implementation and evaluation of policies, strategies and school wide proactive programs relating to mental health and wellbeing as well as the ability to work well in a team.
- SC5 - Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills and an ability to demonstrate excellence in maintaining comprehensive and confidential case notes and records.

**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 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**:

- Contribute to the delivery of student support services within a multi-disciplinary team. Working with educators to identify and develop educational, social, and emotional programs with a focus on prevention, intervention and postvention.
- Develop and maintain networks with relevant youth and community agencies to assist young people and their families in gaining access to services.
- Provide direct support to students and families that address the social and emotional needs of students. This includes liaising with external community service providers, including but not limited to DFFH, hospitals, specialist programs and other professionals.
- Effectively manage complex cases and critical incidents and bring about positive outcomes for student wellbeing.
- Advocate on behalf of students and families undertaking supported referrals to appropriate services and programs.
- Maintain appropriate and accurate case notes and records.
- Other duties as directed by the Wellbeing and Leadership Team.

**Who May Apply**:
Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.
