Location: Melbourne | Northern Metropolitan

Job type: Part time / From 15/07/2024 - 19/12/2025

Organisation: Schools (Government)

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Other

Reference: 1418945

**Selection Criteria**:
**SC1** Demonstrated high level understanding of wellbeing initiatives and appropriate qualifications to undertake functional behaviour assessment (or equivalent), and develop Behaviour Support Plans to support students and staff with implementation of strategies at Tier 3.

**SC2** Demonstrated capacity to lead change in the school environment to improve access for students and support implementation of behaviour strategies across the school, in the learning spaces and the playground (Tier 2)

**SC3** Demonstrated high level written and verbal communication skills and high level interpersonal skills including a capacity to develop constructive relationships with students, parents and other staff and contribute to the positive behaviour approach at a whole school level (Tier1).

**SC4** Demonstrated ability to lead a team of staff, schedule and supervise the work of other support staff, and develop procedures and guidelines relating to the work area.

**SC5** Demonstrated capacity to work with the Learning Specialist - Wellbeing and Inclusion, Leading Teacher Disability Inclusion and as part of the wellbeing team to provide advice and support to enhance the school's implementation of The School Wide Positive Behaviour Support initiative and Disability Inclusion.

**SC6** Demonstrated capacity to actively contribute to whole school improvement initiatives and a commitment to ongoing professional learning for self and others to enable further development of skills, expertise and capacity in the area of behaviour support.

**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**:
The Behaviour Support Specialist will undertake Functional Behavioural Assessments and develop Behaviour Support Plans.

They will work alongside the Learning Specialist - Wellbeing and Inclusion and work with students, teachers and education support staff to improve student engagement in learning and wellbeing.

They will work onsite for 2 days per week. 0.4 EFT. (Days to be negotiated and dependant on links to other teams in the school)

They will provide support both in learning spaces and the playground.

They will support both the wellbeing team and the Education Support team in their work.

They will participate in Student Support Group meetings where they will work with staff, parents and allied health to improve the learning and wellbeing outcomes for students and families.

They will monitor the implementation of the strategies and supports outlined in the Behaviour Support Plans and update and modify the
