Geelong, Australia Schools (Government) Full time

Location: Geelong | Queenscliff

Job type: Part time / From 15/04/2024 - 20/01/2025

Organisation: Schools (Government)

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1407274

**Selection Criteria**:
1. Ability to develop and implement a range of small group and whole school mental health and well-being activities aimed at improving student mental health and wellbeing.

2. Demonstrated experience in assessing and analysing wellbeing issues and providing evidence based direct counselling support as needed.

3. Demonstrated experience in co-ordinating supports for students with complex needs and co-ordinating supports and information for school families to improve student wellbeing.

4. Proven capacity to build positive relationships with students, staff and parents. This includes highly developed communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to work well within a team.

5. Demonstrated capacity to display initiative in developing programs and activities that complement the school's wellbeing program.

**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**:

- Work as a member of the school's wellbeing team in the delivery of student wellbeing services.
- Contribute to improving student engagement and connectedness.
- Contribute to providing a safe and inclusive, supportive learning environment.
- Provide care and guidance to students.
- Operate within the school community and with external providers
- Supporting physical, emotional, social and intellectual development and wellbeing of students
- Supporting student attendance, engagement and mental health

**Who May Apply**:
Must hold a Certificate IV equivalent or higher qualifications that includes competencies in;
mental health and making appropriate referrals and

providing pastoral care or working with youth

Qualifications that meet these requirements include:
Certificate IV in Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care

Certificate IV in Community Services

Certificate IV in Youth Justice

Certificate IV in Youth Work

**EEO AND OHS Commitment**:
**Child Safe Standards**:
Victorian government schools are child safe environments. Our schools actively promote the safety and wellbeing of all students, and all school staff are committed to protecting students from abuse or harm in the school environment, in accordance with their legal obligations including child safe standards. All schools have a Child Safety Code of Conduct consistent with the department's exemplar available at:
**DE Values**:
The department's employees commit to upholding the department's Values: Responsiveness, Integrity, Impartiality, Accountability, Respect, Leadership and Human Rights. The department's Values complement each school's own values and underpi
