Perth, Western Australia Department of Education, Western Australia Full time

We are creating a pool of qualified and enthusiastic candidates to fill temporary lead school psychologist roles within public educational institutions across Western Australia. This pool may be utilized for positions lasting up to twelve months.

If you are a current fixed-term or permanent school psychologist or lead school psychologist seeking your next role, or if you are a recently retired lead school psychologist, we encourage you to consider this opportunity. Additionally, if you have recently relocated to Western Australia and possess experience in school psychology leadership, we welcome your application.

This recruitment pool remains open, allowing applications to be submitted throughout its duration.

As a lead school psychologist, you will operate within a school setting and report directly to the region's Director of Education. You will also maintain professional accountability to the Chief Psychologist of the Department. Your practice will be informed by departmental policies and guidelines, as well as the professional standards set by the Psychology Board of Australia. Lead school psychologists are also affiliated with Statewide Services.

As a lead school psychologist, you will offer direct guidance to the Director of Education and school principals in addressing complex issues and situations, including incident management.
