**The Role**

Collie SHS is seeking to create a pool of energetic and motivated individuals. At Collie SHS our moral purpose is to provide opportunities for all students to develop skills, common knowledge,



and resilience through high quality teaching to pursue pathways of their choice.

SSOs strive for success for all students through improving the wellbeing, resilience and pro-social behaviour of students buy working in partnership with the Student Services team. The role requires strong monitoring and management of triage practices and processes. Under the leadership of the Student Services Manager, SSOs will implement explicit processes of support. Exceptional relationship building skills, knowledge, and proven ability to deliver outcome driver interventions will promote high level successes for students and contribute to the functional operation of Student Services.

Suitable applicants will participate in Students at Education Risk (SAER) and case conference meetings within the school and with other agencies as appropriate, including the provision of information and consultancy advice. Suitable applicants will have the oppurtunity to work in partnership with key service providers to coordinate and deliver activities that aim to support and engage SAER. They should have the ability to facilitate restorative meetings to allow students to resolve conflict in a proactive manner and follow up to ensure the agreed outcomes continue beyond these meetings.

We are looking for people who ideally are reliable, relatable,



and preferably have a history of building and maintaining relationships with young adolescents in a school community and with other key stakeholders. They will, under direction, also participate in crisis management and response duties to ensure the best outcomes for young people.
