ABOUT US

Camberwell Grammar School is an independent Anglican day school for boys from Pre-Preparatory to Year 12. We aim to give every student in our care the very best possible education in order to prepare them for life beyond school. We are a learning community which encourages staff, students, past students and parents to involve themselves fully in all aspects of school life and to identify themselves with its values; Learning, Respect, Integrity, Courage and Optimism. We are proud of the warm spirit and sense of community that characterises our school family.

Our School campus is located in the leafy inner East suburb of Canterbury, on land originally inhabited by the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, and blends period architecture with exciting contemporary design and state-of-the-art facilities.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a passionate, collaborative and innovative School Counsellor/Psychologist that will predominately work with our Middle and Senior School students.  This is an ongoing part time role (0.8 FTE) in a progressive, supportive and well-resourced educational environment.  The commencement date is by negotiation.

ABOUT YOU

You will have experience working within a school setting and be able to provide targeted therapeutic support to students addressing their social, emotional, behavioural and educational needs. A registered psychologist is preferred, however the School is open to offering the position to candidates with qualifications in other relevant allied health disciplines who have suitable school counselling experience.

You will predominantly be working with students, families and staff in the middle and senior school years, with the potential to engage with students from other year levels as required. You are an expert in your field who can lead by example and model exceptional practice and make a professional contribution to the School Counselling Team and to the development of wellbeing programs and initiatives in Middle and Senior School.

Candidates should have a higher degree within their chosen discipline, and registration with their relevant professional governing body (i.e. Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA)). A demonstrated capacity to conduct comprehensive cognitive assessments (WISC-V/WAIS-IV) is strongly desired. 

WHY JOIN CAMBERWELL GRAMMAR SCHOOL?

Our programs are deliberately structured to educate the whole student – not just the mind.

You will play a pivotal role in this vision.
