Melbourne, Australia Education and Training Full time

Location: Melbourne | Eastern Metropolitan

Job type: Full time / From 20/03/2023 - 12/04/2024

Organisation: Education and Training

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1333173

**Selection Criteria**:
S.C.1. Understanding of common approaches, policies, programs and research relating to student wellbeing.

S.C.2. Demonstrated ability in the delivery of student and family wellbeing services in a relevant setting and, preferably experience working with schools in the area of student wellbeing

S.C.3. Demonstrated ability to provide information, advice and support to teachers and families responsible for the management of students experiencing behavioural problems that are impacting on their learning outcomes.

S.C.4. Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills, including the ability to work collaboratively, as part of a team and network with the wide range of people within the education and wider community.

S.C.5. Highly developed organisational and time management skills

**Role**:
Performs and/or supervises tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice and school policy. This may include the supervision and coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program. Supervision and coordination would be limited to ensuring routine tasks are performed to required standards. Input into identifying training needs and development of education support class staff within the work area or educational program becomes an important feature at range 2.

Specialised support to achieve specific outcomes is a feature of range 2. Typically this will involve accountability for a single function, (e.g. ensuring data is properly maintained) or the operation of a work area (e.g. managing the day to day operation of a school office) under the direction of the principal or another senior manager.

Provides support to teachers and students that is beyond the routine support provided at education support class Level 1, range 1. Within an educational program assists teachers with the coordination of the support function, such as directing/organising the work of other support staff or providing a specialist support role.

Undertakes medical intervention support tasks or other specialised student/teacher support roles that require specific training that must be updated from time to time. The role is for a specific purpose for which there will be direct accountability as opposed to support roles that are carried out by a range of staff performing routine tasks under direction.

Performs technical tasks that require a sound knowledge of basic technical and/or scientific principles that are used to develop and adapt work methods and make judgements where there are clear guidelines and limited options. Routine technical support in libraries, science and information technology laboratories would be typical examples.

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**:
The successful applicant will be part of the College Wellbeing Team and will be responsible for the following:

- To provide information, support and advocacy to students who are self-referred, staff referred or parent referred for the purpose of identifying and overcoming barriers to engagement with education.
- Ensure appropriate support during periods of transition (into year 7, finishing year 12, new students).
- To develop and maintain relationships with relevant support providers external to Berwick College and maintain a comprehensive knowledge of these supports, including educational institutions, industry groups and community agencies.
- Work together with parents to ensure the wellbeing needs of students are addressed.
- Providing appropriate staff with information relevant and necessary to ensure the safety, welfare and education of students.
- Participation in staff meetings, team meetings, Student Support Group meetings, and enrolment meetings where appropriate.
- Develop and facilitate targeted wellbeing programs and interventions.
- Support and guide responses to critical incidents.
- Maintaining up-to-date and accurate records in line with College processes.
- Other roles as directed by the Principal and Assistant Principal.

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

**EEO AND OHS Commitment**:
The Department values diversity and is committed to workforce diversity and
