- Work with students and families to identify needs and connect them with school-based and community wellbeing supports.
- Contribute to the development and implementation of tailored plans that promote student safety, engagement, and equity.
- Advocate for continued connection to learning for students at risk and deliver evidence-based interventions that build wellbeing and resilience.

Qualifications and experience

- We're seeking someone with a Certificate IV or Diploma in Youth Work, or equivalent.
- Work experience in the education/school sector using protective practices, including mandatory reporting and other child-safe legislation requirements and commitments, would be an advantage.
- A working knowledge of Friendology, Zones of Regulation, trauma-informed practices (specifically Berry St training and approaches) and a restorative approach to conflict resolution.
- Knowledge of College policies, procedures and work systems

- Hold a current Working with Children Check (WWCC)
- Agree to our Child Safe Policies
- Complete RRHAN-EC Masterclass training (Responding to Risk of Harm, Abuse and Neglect in Education and Care settings)
