Melbourne, Victoria, Australia beBeeLeadership Full time $120,000 - $140,000
Job Overview:

The Victorian government has established LOOKOUT Centres to act as advocates for children and young people in out-of-home care within the education system. These centres aim to secure the rights and best outcomes for these students.

Ensuring access to support services and personal learning experiences tailored to each child's interests and needs is crucial. The LOOKOUT Centre monitors and tracks children and young people between placements, providing consistency and a positive focus on their educational progress.

As an advocate, you will develop constructive and respectful relationships with staff, students, carers, and stakeholders. This includes leading peers and colleagues to engage with students in care, effective people management, and contributing to staff development.

You must possess educational leadership skills, including understanding trauma-informed approaches to improve student learning and engagement. You will set high expectations for all students, reinforce achievements, and promote equity in outcomes.

Cultural leadership skills are also essential, including experience in trauma-informed education leadership and practice. You will lead the LOOKOUT Centre by unifying staff and stakeholders around a common purpose underpinned by values of inclusion, professional practice, peer learning, and high expectations.

Additionally, you will have technical leadership skills, enabling you to challenge decisions made by stakeholders that could have a negative impact on educational opportunities and outcomes for children and young people in care.
