Psychologist
As a psychologist in education, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the learning, wellbeing and life outcomes of children and young people. Working alongside schools, families and communities, you will help students overcome barriers to learning and participate fully in education.
Unlike many clinical settings, this role offers the opportunity to work within a preventative and early intervention framework, helping schools build inclusive environments that support student success and wellbeing.
Why Student Support Services?
SSS is made up of a broad range of allied health professions including psychologists, speech pathologists, social workers, occupational therapists and behavioural analysts.
We work in multi-disciplinary teams across Victoria, partnering with schools to improve student access, participation, engagement and achievement.
About the role
This full-time, ongoing role is based at the Horsham Office, in the Wimmera South West area. Work in Horsham while making a genuine difference across the broader Wimmera region. This varied role will see you travel regularly to rural communities (e.g. Warracknabeal, Rainbow, Stawell, Murtoa and Nhill), building relationships and supporting local schools, students and families.
In this role, you will support children and young people to achieve their educational goals, participate fully in school life and overcome barriers to learning and wellbeing.
