5 days ago
**Department for Education**
**Job reference**: 631749
**Location**: 5343 - BERRI
**Job status**: Short Term Contract
**Eligibility**: Open to Everyone
**Why work with us**:
Every child and young person deserves a great education.
We have a strategy that aims to unlock every child’s potential now and into the future, one that in partnership with learners, students, parents, and the wider South Australian community will build a world-leading public education system. One that is equitable and prioritises learning and wellbeing.
Together we will make our education system the best it can be.
When our children and young people thrive, so do our communities and our state.
**About the Role**:
The Student Support Services (SSS) team works with schools and preschools to assist them to support the strengths, opportunities, and additional needs of learners. This service is time-limited and based on identified and agreed upon goals, recorded in a service plan. The nature and level of support is tailored to each site’s needs.
The trend of increasing learner complexity is well documented in the literature. Children and young people may have experienced violence, abuse or other trauma and live within a complex family dynamic. Increasing numbers of children and young people are being identified with complex learning difficulties and disabilities often with co-existing conditions such as autism and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Increasing numbers of children are in schools who have difficulties arising from premature birth, have survived infancy due to advances in medical interventions, have rare neurological disorders and foetal alcohol syndrome. Behavioural issues are becoming increasingly more challenging and complex with a range of co-morbidity factors (including mental health) that require skills and expertise to identify underlying causes to better address the needs of the children and young people.
The Social Worker - Truancy is a member of an inter-disciplinary team and works with children and young people with truancy, attendance, engagement and retention issues and their families. The Social Worker works with preschool and school staff, and parents to develop evidence-based interventions that include proactive, targeted and intensive strategies that can be adapted for learning and home contexts. This position works with the professional support of the Senior Social Worker.
Student Support Services are on a cultural response journey, as such we value and prioritise Aboriginal ways of knowing, doing and being.
