Student Wellbeing Counsellor and Behaviour Support

4 months ago


Melbourne, Australia Schools (Government) Full time

Location: Melbourne | CBD

Job type: Full time / From 29/04/2024 - 27/01/2025

Organisation: Schools (Government)

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1410544

**Selection Criteria**:

**SC1** Demonstrated experience creating and implementing wellbeing referral systems, triaging referrals to services and supports such as student counselling and staff professional development

**SC2** Demonstrated experience liaising with and providing services for multiple school stakeholders, such as providing counselling for students, supporting teachers to modify their teaching and learning program to improve wellbeing of students

**SC3** Demonstrated experience in supporting staff understanding of trauma-informed practice through behaviour observations and support, including recommendations for strategies to support student mental health and improve behaviour

**SC4** Ability to provide professional learning and coaching to staff where necessary, to improve the wellbeing and engagement of students

**SC5** Demonstrated knowledge of policies relating to the Child Safe Standards and mental health which guides own practice

**Additional Notes**:

**Role**:
[Attendance requirement for this position]

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.
