Melbourne, Australia Education and Training Full time

Location: Melbourne | Northern Metropolitan

Job type: Full time / From 20/02/2023

Organisation: Education and Training

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1327201

**Selection Criteria**:
**SC1.** Qualification in Social Work, Youth Work, Psychology, Counselling or Mental Health are required

**SC2.** Developed communication and interpersonal skills including the ability to work collaboratively and network with a wide range of people and services within the education sector and wider community

**SC3. **Demonstrated ability to input into the development, implementation and evaluation of school programs and practices in or to deliver a comprehensive service to students, families and the wider community

**SC4. **Demonstrated capacity to work as part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary and professional team and contribute to the achievements of the team

**SC5.** Developed networking skills, with the ability to liaise effectively with a wide range of people within the education and wider community

**SC6.** Developed counselling skills and experience in counselling adolescents presenting with a range of issues

**Role**:
Hours for this position are 8.30am to 4.30pm.

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**:

- Manage the design and production of school publications and documents.
- Provide professional student support services, e.g. therapist and psychological and counselling services.
- Provide strategic advice on specific support services and their impact on students, school curriculum and services.
- Manage the use of and access to school resource and reference material.

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

**EEO AND OHS Commitment**:
**Child Safe Standards**:
**DET Values**:
**Other Information**:
Applications should include:
2. Specific Key Selection Criteria response.

3. A CV with a summary of experience and qualifications.

**Conditions of Employment**:

- All staff employed by the Department and schools have access to a broad range of employment conditions and working arrangements.

A person is not eligible for employment in the Teaching Service unless that person meets the vaccination requirements on commencement in the position.

**Location Profile**:
Edgars Creek Secondary College opened in 2018 and is located in Epping North/Wollert. It is a co-educational school that will form part of a wider education and community precinct, which along with the secondary college will include a primary school, a community activity centre and a council reserve. The school has a state-of-the-art STEM building, with a series of science labs, flexible break-out s
