**Position Information**:
School counsellors are an essential part of the department’s School Counselling Service. They provide counselling and psychological assessment of students to complement and enhance the work of teachers to strengthen student learning and wellbeing outcomes, and they help families understand and manage their children’s learning and mental health needs. This is a truly collegiate role offering unique challenges and opportunities - both in your professional development and your ability to make an impact on the lives of children and young people.
This School Counsellor position will be appointed to Canterbury Vale School and work as part of the state-wide Refugee Student Counselling Support Team (RSCST). The RSCST builds the capacity of Departmental staff in the provision of direct, secondary, and tertiary refugee support across NSW public schools. The team provides consultation in counselling and complex case support, designs/delivers professional learning, and projects, and delivers tailored group interventions to support the safety, well-being and belonging of students of refugee background.
School counsellors receive regular, individual professional supervision with the Senior Psychologist Education and participate in group and peer supervision as a member of the broader district school counselling team. You will most likely be collaborating with a number of school communities and colleagues, as well as outside agencies, with the opportunity to use and expand the full range of your skills and expertise as part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team.
School counsellors are provided with regular opportunities to participate in continuing professional development and the NSW Department of Education will support you to complete or maintain your registration with the Psychology Board of Australia. Other benefits include school holiday leave, travel allowances and health and wellbeing benefits such as our Fitness Passport program. The department will also cover your indemnity insurance as a psychologist.
**Selection Criteria**:
- Experience in counselling using evidence-based interventions with a demonstrated understanding of the mental health needs of children and young people, including those from a refugee background.
- Experience in the psychological assessment of children and young people, including case formulation and report writing, including those from a refugee background.
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate with key stakeholders to improve the learning and wellbeing outcomes of children and young people including students from diverse backgrounds and needs.
**Conditions**:
- Be a registered or provisionally registered psychologist, or eligible for registration with the Psychology Board of Australia.
- Ability and willingness to travel between worksites.
**Special Notes**:
Successful applicants will be provided with a Departmental induction program, ongoing professional learning and professional supervision.
