The Department leads the delivery of education and development services to children, young people and adults both directly through government schools and indirectly through the regulation and funding of early childhood services, non-government schools and training programs.
Fixed term - Until 01/08/2024
The Department of Education is looking for skilled and passionate Psychologists and Social Workers to contribute to the important work of our Student Support Services (SSS) teams in supporting schools to address the barriers that impact on student(s) access, preparation, and progress to achieving their educational goals and development potential.
If you are passionate about child and adolescent development, trauma informed practices, behavioural theories and frameworks that engage whole school approaches to help young people reach their full potential, and like working in a collaborative multidisciplinary team - then a role in the Student Support Services is the job for you.
This role involves collaboration with other SSS team members to provide assessment, consultation, support, and program advice to improve teaching, learning and wellbeing strategies for students requiring support.
Other key components of the role include highly developed communication skills including report-writing, networking, and interpersonal skills that enable effective liaison with a range of people in the education community and beyond, and the ability to work autonomously.
Why Student Support Services?
SSS comprise a broad range of Allied Health professions including psychologists, speech pathologists, social workers and occupational therapists.
Working in SSS is deeply meaningful, highly rewarding, challenging, and dynamic and gives you the opportunity to make a positive contribution to the life of children and young people, their families, schools, and communities.
You'll work with a diverse group of people who share a common goal, and you will be well supported to use your professional skills and knowledge to provide specialised support at the individual, group, school, and area level.
As part of an Area based multi-disciplinary health, wellbeing, and inclusion team, you will work to help build the capability of schools to support student achievement, engagement, and wellbeing.
What can we offer you?
The work we do matters greatly, and there are few comparable opportunities to shape the life of children and young people for the better.
If you are driven by a desire to contribute to the big picture, and the future success of our children and our State, then a career working in our SSS allied health workforce is for you.
