- Working collaboratively with a team around the child, including educators, parents, caregivers and whanau, to enhance understanding about the child and their behaviours.
- Helping the adults around the child to make changes to the learning environment so that their behaviour can be more effectively managed, and the situation can be stabilised/made safer. This includes supporting the child to develop more pro-social ways of responding, and improving their participation, wellbeing and learning outcomes.
- Facilitating access to wider services and support, in response to individual needs, for example speech and language therapy and local agencies.
- Collaboratively assessing, planning, developing, supporting and monitoring the implementation of effective individual (or group) learning plans.
- Enhancing inclusive practices in early learning services, schools and other educational settings.

This permanent, full-time role is based at our Paraparaumu office offering a fantastic lifestyle and work-life balance opportunity working in a great location with beaches, recreation activities, great shopping, and services and only 40 minutes from downtown Wellington.
