About the Opportunity

We are looking for a Counsellor with relevant experience to join a large dynamic team of educators and support staff at Alta-1 College.

Heres some information about us...

At Alta-1 we recognise that adverse life experiences can impact a students sense of self-worth, motivation and capacity for learning, making engagement in a mainstream school setting difficult.

We provide students with wraparound support to guide them on a journey of recovery through a trauma-informed approach. This approach helps students acknowledge, confront, and resolve barriers that have impacted their ability to reach their full potential.

We believe in fostering a highly relational environment where students, teachers and staff develop meaningful connections based on trust, respect and empathy. These relationships serve as the foundation for effective teaching and learning, allowing us to better understand and support the unique needs and aspirations of each student.
