About the Role
Full Time: 1.0 FTE (Full time equivalent)

Location:
Wee Waa High School School psychologists are an essential part of the Department’s school counselling service and work in primary and high schools. They provide counselling and psychological assessment of students, to complement and enhance the work of teachers to strengthen student learning and wellbeing outcomes, and help families understand and manage their children’s learning and mental health needs. This is a truly collegiate role offering unique challenges and opportunities – both in your career development and your ability to make an impact on the lives of children and young people. The successful candidate will be based at Wee Waa High School and provided with opportunities to work across the lifespan with both primary and high school aged students. Working in a NSW public school will enable you to engage with a diversity of students (and school communities) like no other child and adolescent psychologist role can.



This is a chance to use your skills to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people at a time in their lives when it matters most. School psychologists receive individual professional supervision with the Senior Psychologist Education and participate in group and peer supervision as a member of the broader school counselling team. You will most likely be collaborating with a number of school communities and colleagues, as well as outside agencies, with the opportunity to use and expand the full range of your skills and expertise as part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team. School psychologists are provided with opportunities to participate in continuing professional development and the NSW Department of Education will support you to complete or maintain your registration with the Psychology Board of Australia. Other benefits include access to a range of leave types, including recreation leave and flex leave, as well as leave loading, travel allowances and health and wellbeing benefits such as our Fitness Passport program. The department will also cover your indemnity insurance as a psychologist while working in our schools. Find out more about working as a school psychologist on the school counselling service pages of the NSW Department of Education website. Wee Waa High School is a co-educational, comprehensive rural secondary school in North-West NSW that services students from the small towns of Wee Waa, Burren Junction and Pilliga.



We respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we provide our education, the Gamilaraay nation.
