About the Opportunity
We are looking for a Therapeutic Specialist with relevant experience to join a large dynamic team of educators and support staff at Alta-1 College.
At Alta-1 we recognise that adverse life experiences can impact a student's sense of self-worth, motivation and capacity for learning, making engagement in a mainstream school setting difficult. As an independent, co-educational, CARE (Curriculum and Reengagement in Education) School, Alta-1 is a Christian organisation which works with students from years 7-12. We work with at‐risk young people providing them with wrap‐around support as they go on a journey of transformation to discover their unique sense of identity and purpose. We are fully committed to their safety, wellbeing and welfare at all times.
We believe in fostering a highly relational environment where students, teachers and staff develop meaningful connections based on trust, respect and empathy. These relationships serve as the foundation for effective teaching and learning, allowing us to better understand and support the unique needs and aspirations of each student.
Now let's talk about you!
If successful, you will be a member of a multidisciplinary team who collaborate to implement our Stronger Systems Model and promote effective outcomes for students.
* Case management, counselling, group work, and consultation with staff regarding therapeutic adjustments and team functioning.
* Highly relational with the ability to quickly build rapport with staff and students from diverse backgrounds.
* Facilitate engagement with a wraparound approach, employing a holistic and optimistic mindset.
* Apply a trauma‐informed approach to student care, advocating for safety, choice, collaboration and respect for diversity.
* Empower others through a strength‐based approach, highlighting the abilities, skills and resources of staff and students.
Why you should choose us
We offer attractive salary packaging options, professional development opportunities and competitive employment conditions in a refreshed EBA.
At Alta-1, our staff believe that each student is created with unique strengths and abilities and work collaboratively to see these flourish. Each day provides multiple opportunities for you to make positive contributions into the lives and futures of these students.
