**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**:

- Facilitation and development of small group work with students
- Provide counselling for students dealing with emotional, social and behavioural issues/concerns.
- Work with other Department areas ( including Secondary School Nurses, Mental Health Practitioner, SSS) and external service providers where necessary to provide intervention and /or support to students and families
- Manage crisis situations as they arise
- Collaborate with other school staff in creating individual education support plans, attendance at student support group meeting and disciplinary meetings at the school
- Liaise with the Student Services team to ensure a consistent and agreed approach to the delivery of support services
- Liaise and consult with the Student Support Teams to assist the implementation of whole school approaches
- Liaise with families and carers regarding student wellbeing needs
- Work with and support teachers and key school staff in understanding student needs
- Completion of confidential professional records and case notes
- Support the process of transition for students coming from primary school and other year levels to Newcomb Secondary College
- Assist in mental health promotion and wellbeing across the school
- Administrative support within the Wellbeing Team
- Participation in all key school events and activities, e.g. Sports Carnivals, camps, excursions as requested
- Undertake other duties as determined appropriate by the Wellbeing Leader and Principal.
- Report to our school¿s Wellbeing Leader, as well as our school¿s Principal Team
