Drive school-wide initiatives that prioritize mental health and a proactive culture of student wellness.
Contribute to the development and implementation of the Advisory Program to ensure meaningful student-teacher connections and community building.

Staff Development & Coaching

Coach and support teachers in applying new tools and developing skills, particularly in Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and conflict resolution, as well as other areas as needed.
Lead professional development sessions for staff, focusing on youth mental health, trauma-informed practices, and adherence to child protection protocols.

General Responsibilities

Maintain proactive, transparent, and empathetic communication with students, parents, and faculty to ensure a unified support network.
Maintain precise, confidential student records in strict accordance with ethical standards and provincial privacy regulations.
Uphold the highest standards of the counseling profession, modeling integrity and confidentiality in all institutional interactions.

A compassionate, collaborative, and confident leader and team member;
Exceptional organizational skills and time management abilities, with a proven capacity to meet multiple deadlines.
Effective group management skills in a classroom setting.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively discuss sensitive topics with students, parents, school administrators, and other staff.
