Melbourne, Australia Schools (Government) Full time

Location: Melbourne | Northern Metropolitan

Job type: Part time / From 28/01/2025 - 26/01/2026

Organisation: Schools (Government)

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1453090

**Selection Criteria**:
SC 1: Qualifications or substantial experience in mental health, social work, psychology or a relevant community health or welfare field.

SC 2: Ability to provide direct counselling support and other early intervention services for individual students and groups identified as at-risk and/or experiencing or demonstrating mild to moderate mental health needs

SC 3: Highly developed communication skills and interpersonal skills, including the ability to build positive relationships and work collaboratively with a wide range of people within the education and wider community.

SC4: Plan and implement evidence-based intervention strategies for students with complex needs including collaborating with families, other professionals and agencies when appropriate, and manage the associated risks

SC 5: Demonstrated commitment to school priorities, including Mental Health in Primary Schools, Respectful Relationships, Social/Emotional Learning and/or other relevant programs.

**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**:
The responsibilities of this position will include:

- Provide Care Management as needed in regards to social/emotional needs of students
- Provide relevant information on available resources to students and their families
- Organise and help facilitate group/individual programs based on the needs of the cohort at any given time
- Provide information to parents on students' social progress and referral to external services, as appropriate
- Provide support to Classroom Teachers and Education Support Staff to promote wellbeing education
- Provide supportive intervention for individual students where required, including Behaviour Support Plans and Coping Plans
- Promote and facilitate pro-social activities and services, including lunchtime clubs
- Perform other duties appropriate to the classification, as determined by the Principal

**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**:
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:
