Melbourne, Australia Education Full time

Location: Melbourne | Southern Metropolitan

Job type: Full time / From 17/07/2023 - 12/07/2024

Organisation: Education

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1349056

**Selection Criteria**:
KSC1 - Well-developed counselling/therapeutic and case management skills when working with secondary aged students, including those presenting with complex mental health issues, chronic disengagement and school non-attendance

KSC2 - Experience of working in an education setting and demonstrated ability to build successful relationships with students and implement proactive wellbeing programs across all year levels

KSC3 - Demonstrated ability to provide information, advice and support to Year level coordinators, families and external professionals who are supporting/working with students experiencing difficulties with their social and emotional wellbeing

KSC4 - A demonstrated ability to be sensitive and responsive to the needs of young people and their families, with well-developed skills in engaging families in the development of case plans for their child

KSC5 - Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills, with the proven ability to work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team

KSC6 - Demonstrate a commitment to professional learning and growth relating to your role and in line with the school’s vision.

**Role**:
Under the direction of the Student Engagement Wellbeing Coordinator, the Youth Worker will be an active member of the school wellbeing team, working cross-campus to provide a range of wellbeing programs for students across all year levels, including 1-1 support and case management, specific group interventions, organising and facilitating celebration/awareness days and running lunchtime activities.

The Youth Worker will hold a caseload of referred students **with a particular focus on students who are disengaged and struggling to attend school. **A non-attending or disengaged student can often be extremely vulnerable with a diverse range of needs that span beyond the physical school environment. There are many aspects that are outside of the student’s control that can underpin their chronic inability to engage, including but not limited to trauma, family violence, mental health, cultural and socio-economic factors. The impact of remote learning has only exacerbated the issues some students face when engaging with school, presenting a new layer of complexity whilst also having an impact on a cohort of students previously unaffected by school non-attendance and disengagement.

Working within the college wellbeing protocols, the Youth worker will deliver both brief counselling support and effective case management. The promotion of students' social, emotional and behavioural development is a core purpose of this role, as is implementing and evaluating support strategies to minimise disengagement from school and foster resilience. The Youth Worker will demonstrate an ability to plan thoughtful 1-1 sessions and engage students in conversations about their wellbeing and goal setting, using a variety of strategies and techniques.

The Youth Worker will support the Student Engagement and Wellbeing Coordinator to develop and deliver a range of dynamic and engaging group programs and lunchtime activities that support and reinforce self-esteem and confidence in students, increase engagement with school, their teachers, their peers and build partnerships between the school and wider community agencies and support services.
