Role





Education Support Class Level 1-Range 4 positions provide specialised support to the educational services provided to students. The position supports the achievement of educational outcomes but does not include duties of teaching as defined by the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic), or its successor.

The Wellbeing Coordinator will operate with a high level of skilled independence and accountability within the scope of the position. The role will require the ability to exercise professional judgement, manage competing priorities, respond to complex and sensitive matters and provide timely advice to College leadership.

At Range 4, the position carries broader responsibility for the coordination and management of wellbeing functions and provides specialist advice and support to College leadership and the broader school community. The successful applicant will be expected to work with broad objectives and guidelines, requiring initiative and professional judgement in determining appropriate approaches to complex matters.

The Wellbeing Coordinator will contribute to ensuring appropriate levels of wellbeing support are maintained across the College and will liaise with the Department of Education, government agencies, allied health professionals, community organisations and other service providers as required.

Supervision of students will not be a general requirement of the position, except where it is an integral component of the role or involves supervision of individual students or small groups in controlled circumstances where responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.
