Some of these sessions are held in the evening.
The Family Transition to School Program involves the development and delivery of family-focused group sessions to parents of children attending four-year old kindergarten in the Cities of Port Phillip, Stonington, Bayside, Kingston and Glen Eira. The program aims to build parents’ capacity to support their child’s transition to school through strengths-based activities and group sessions. The Child Development Specialist(s) will liaise with kindergarten educators and parents, collaboratively develop a program plan with other members of the CYFT, and deliver group sessions to parents.

**Ideally, you will possess**:

- A professional qualification in Social Work, Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy or Psychology.
- Experience in working in early childhood intervention, family support and/or early childhood education.
- Demonstrated ability to develop and deliver group sessions.
