**Role**:
- This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced and passionate educator to take on a dual leadership role as Leading Teacher
- Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader and Disability Inclusion Leader at Black Rock Primary School. The successful applicant will play a pivotal role in shaping a whole-school approach to student engagement, inclusion and success, while also leading targeted supports for students with additional needs. Working closely with the Principal and as a member of the leadership team, this role will drive the implementation of the Victorian Mental Health in Primary Schools (MHiPS) framework and the Disability Inclusion Program, building staff capacity, strengthening partnerships with families and external services, and ensuring every student is supported to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
**Mental health and wellbeing leader (MHWL)**
- The Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System highlighted that primary schools provide opportunities to identify children with mental health and wellbeing challenges, who can then be referred to treatment, care and support.
- The Mental Health in Primary Schools initiative is being expanded to every government and low-fee non-government primary school in Victoria. Scaling up across the state from 2023, by 2026 every primary school will be able to employ a Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader to implement a whole-school approach to wellbeing.
- DE piloted the Mental Health in Primary Schools -initiative in Victorian schools between 2020 and 2022 in partnership with the Murdoch Children's Research Institute and the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne. Evaluation of this pilot program showed that 95 per cent of Mental Health and Wellbeing Leaders consider the Mental Health in Primary Schools model improved their school¿s capacity to support students¿ mental health and wellbeing needs.
- Participating schools receive funding to employ a **Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader**, a qualified teacher, to work across the school to implement a whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing for students, based on a broad knowledge of the needs of the school community.
- The role of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader is to:
- build capability of the whole school about mental health and wellbeing (identification, promotion and prevention)
- provide support to staff to better identify and support students with mental health needs
- establish clear pathways for referral for students requiring assessment and intervention and monitor and evaluate student progress.
- The role provides a proactive focus on promoting positive mental health and wellbeing, and on preventing mental health difficulties, through the assessment and implementation of context-relevant programs, approaches, and initiatives informed by a broad and extensive understanding of the school¿s needs.
- The Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader role is not a clinical role and is not designed for direct intervention. The role is seen as a key conduit in creating referral pathways once a teacher or other staff member identifies a concern in the classroom.
- Mental Health and Wellbeing Leaders are provided training in mental health literacy, supporting emerging needs, and building school capacity and receive ongoing support and professional development through structured and regular Learning Communities. Training is developed and facilitated by the Faculty of Education at University of Melbourne, supported by Murdoch Children¿s Research Institute.
