**Help shape the future of Education**

At the Ministry of Education, we work together to shape an education system that delivers equitable and excellent outcomes.

Our organisation is made up of more than 3,000 talented and committed people around New Zealand, from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures.

While we work in different groups and on different things, we all strive every day to make the biggest difference we can for every child, young person and adult student in our education system.

**About our group and team**

Learning Support is a critical part of Te Mahua | Te Tai Runga in the Ministry. We are charged with leading the education sector in ensuring that children and young people with additional learning needs are supported to achieve their full potential through education.

Our Learning Support specialists work closely with families, whānau, caregivers, schools and early childhood educators in English and Māori medium settings and other agencies to help maximize learning outcomes and promote social inclusion.

The Naenae/Taita/Stokes Valley Learning support team who work out of our Lower Hutt office are a strong, cohesive and collaborative team implementing the Learning Support Delivery Model in progressive and innovative ways. If you have always wanted to work in a transdisciplinary and highly supportive team environment, then this role would be the one for you.

**About this role**

As a psychologist you will play a critical role in our region's Learning Support team by:

- Identifying patterns or contributing factors that may be influencing learning, wellbeing and behaviour
- Enhancing inclusive practices in early learning services, schools and other educational settings
- Providing professional support and guidance to schools, teachers and families and building the capacity of those who are best placed to support the learning of children and young people
- Providing appropriate in-depth specialist assessment and analysis for evidenced informed interventions
- Working as part of a trans-disciplinary team where a child's needs are complex.

**About you**

To be successful you will need:

- A Masters level tertiary qualification and a post-graduate Diploma in Educational Psychology
- Be registered under the Health Practitioners Competency Assurance Act and to hold a current practicing certificate
- Ability to translate specialist knowledge into practical information
- Ability to co-ordinate service provision in a multi-agency, trans-disciplinary setting
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and an ability to work effectively with children, young people and their families and teachers across a diverse range of settings.

What can we offer you?

We offer a competitive salary and terms and conditions. In addition, our specialists tell us they value the following:

- _“The ability to make a positive difference in the lives of children, young people and their whānau and contribute to system-wide change is a huge plus”_
- _“The Ministry offers a strong community of practice and the support of a large organisation so I never feel isolated or alone”_
- _“I really value the ability to work closely with specialists from other disciplines. It enhances my own practice and thinking”._

Are you ready to make a difference?

As a government agency, the Ministry is committed to keeping to the Treaty of Waitangi's guiding principles in our work for and with Māori students, their whānau, hapū and iwi.
