Student Support Officer

School of Special Educational Needs: Behaviour and Engagement (SSEN:BE) is seeking to establish a pool of Student Support Officers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2026 school year and up to the end of Term 3, 2027. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

SSEN:BE is part of the network of specialist schools that operates under the Statewide Services pillar of Service Delivery. SSEN:BE provides educational support and services with schools for students who present with extreme, complex and challenging behaviours across a K-12 context. A continuum of support with schools for students is delivered through Engagement Centres, the Midland Learning Academy and the Teacher Behaviour Professional Practice team. These services are coordinated through SSEN:BE which provides the administrative structure that oversees and manages these services as a Statewide model of supports for schools, teachers, and students. The services complement other teams working in networks, regions, and schools, supporting a greater number of students across the state. Support is available across the public school system.

Engagement Centres coordinate the K-12 provision of the following three services:

• Professional learning to improve student engagement and behaviour
• Consultative support for schools needing additional assistance with planning for those students with very complex needs
• Direct and indirect support for individual students exhibiting the most extreme, challenging, and complex needs.
