Role Description/Criteria

The Counsellor and Wellbeing Officer plays an integral role in supporting the wellbeing, engagement, and connectedness of students at our school. As a key member of the Wellbeing Team, this role focuses on delivering student wellbeing services, providing individual and small-group support, and implementing proactive programs that promote mental health, resilience, and positive relationships.
