Learning Advisor

2 weeks ago

Footscray, Victoria, Australia Department of Education Full time $72,000 - $104,000 per year

About the Department

The department provides a wide range of learning and development support and services.

The department provides policy leadership, plans for the future of education in Victoria and leads key cross-sector collaboration. The department plays an important system steward role by providing support, guidance, oversight and assurance across early childhood and school education systems, as well as directly providing school education and 50 new early learning centres.

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. 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 and foster care agencies) and improving monitoring & 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 without this intervention a child would not be connected to the support they need to engage in education.
