**About the Department**
- The role of the Department of Education is to support Victorians to build prosperous, socially engaged, happy and healthy lives.

**About the Group**
- Schools and Regional Services (SRS) offers central, regional, and local expertise to enhance learning and development outcomes, supported by a diverse and geographically dispersed workforce. It comprises 17 areas within 4 regions, backed by 5 central office divisions, all collaborating to deliver improved outcomes for early childhood services, schools, communities, and learners, in line with Education State commitments. SRS regions serve as a bridge between the central office, schools, and service providers, ensuring smooth transitions for learners and achieving the department's ambitious targets. Each region includes divisions specialising in school performance, student wellbeing and early childhood support, working with area-based teams to tailor local interventions and practices. The 17 areas provide crucial insights into local trends and issues, facilitating effective policy and program development and driving child and learner outcomes across all services and programs.
- The Student Wellbeing and Engagement Division is responsible for promoting and implementing regional and statewide consistency in areas relating to school services, student health, wellbeing, inclusion, and engagement supports. The LOOKOUT Centres were established in 2016 to address the educational disadvantage of children and young people in out-of-home care (OoHC) and raise the profile of the Out-of-Home Care Education Commitment. LOOKOUT improves outcomes for children and young people in OoHC through capability building of school staff and leadership teams to understand children's needs and strategies to engage them and their carers to best support their education, strengthening relationships between the service systems (DE, Department of Families, Fairness and Housing, community service organisations and Aboriginal community controlled organisations) and improving monitoring and reporting of children in care, ensuring that they can be tracked and identified within the system and prioritised for support.

**About the Role**
- The LOOKOUT Learning Advisors are a critical role within the multi-disciplinary LOOKOUT teams. Key functions of the Learning Advisor role include:

- supporting Area teams in building the capabilities of schools (including Learning Mentors and Designated Teachers), across their areas and region, to tailor education supports to meet the educational needs of children and young people in contact with the youth justice system. Activities include delivering professional learning, running workshops, providing consultation, advocacy and advice. This will include building understanding of trauma and how this presents in the education and care/ classroom settings and the impacts on children and young people in OoHC
- collecting, effectively analysing and implementing findings from data to better direct efforts, and understand the impact of actions (e.g. prioritising support for schools and services with high numbers of children and young people and with complex needs)
- ensuring decisions are in the best interests of the child and young person's learning and wellbeing outcomes
- referring complex cases for support and using this as an opportunity to build the capabilities of schools, Area Team members and other stakeholders to overcome complex barriers to engagement in education
- providing time limited advocacy, and advice (including to carers) in instances where withou t this intervention a child would not be connected to the support they need to engage in education.

**Attributes**
- To be successful in this role you will be motivated and committed to improving educational outcomes for our most vulnerable students, requiring strong influencing, diagnosing, decision-making and leadership skills. Your capability to establish and maintain productive and collaborative relationships will be critical, as will the ability to deliver outcomes and influence change in a complex environment.
