Social Worker

Do you have a passion for working with children and young people? 

Do you want to help shape the future for young Tasmanians? 

DECYP school social workers provide critical evidence-based services to our students, teachers, and families to optimise wellbeing, engagement, and academic success. 

The Team

You will be welcomed into a highly supportive, team-based environment. As a member of your schools’ multidisciplinary Student Wellbeing and Support Team you will work with school psychologists, speech and language pathologists, school health nurses and teaching staff. Your regional and statewide school social work teams stay connected via regular online and face to face meetings.

About the Role

As a DECYP School Social Worker you will:

• be part of an innovative and collaborative multidisciplinary student support service.
• provide a range of services including personal safety and wellbeing, mental health, relationships, conflict resolution and restorative justice.
• contribute to building the capacity of school communities to improve students’ access, participation, and achievement.
