Allied Health Professional Children/Youth Support Fixed Term and Relief Employment Register

Job Description:

A fixed-term and casual employment register is not a vacancy and inclusion on a register does not guarantee any offer of employment will be made.

This is your opportunity to join a team where you will be inspiring, encouraging and enabling our children and learners to be their best every day.

Use your skills to make a difference in an educational setting working with children, and students from Birth -18.

Happy and healthy young people are better equipped to learn and thrive. Professional Support Staff, including school psychologists, speech and language pathologists and social workers, are key in providing critical evidence-based services to our students, teachers and families to optimise wellbeing, engagement and academic success.

You will be supported to reach your full potential as part of a culture of ongoing professional learning in an innovative and dynamic environment. You will have access to supervision, mentoring, and contemporary assessment and therapy resources. There are also opportunities to engage in quality improvement activities.

There are opportunities available state-wide, working within urban and regional communities.

The DECYP will from time to time require the services of employees for specified fixed-term and relief basis in a number of skill areas and disciplines. Such appointments fill a valuable role in complementing the existing permanent workforce.

The following vacancies may arise in various schools and organisational units within the DECYP across Tasmania:
