NORTH VANCOUVER SCHOOL DISTRICT

Position of Special Responsibility

Provincial School Outreach Consultant

School Counsellor

0.5 FTE April 2, 2024 - June 30, 2026

Mountainside Secondary School

NATURE OF THE ASSIGNMENT

Provincial School Outreach is a program that is jointly funded by the Ministry of Education and Child Care and the Ministry of Children and Family Development. It is hosted by North Vancouver School District and located at Mountainside Secondary School. The program provides specialized in-person and virtual supports and services to school districts across British Columbia, especially those located in rural and remote regions of the province. The program’s outreach consultants travel on an ongoing basis to schools throughout BC to provide in-person assessments, planning, and support to students with disabilities and diverse abilities. Consultants remain virtually connected to school and district personnel between in-person visits to provide ongoing consultation and support.

The program is hiring a half-time (0.5) consultant with a specialization in school counselling. This position involves one full of week of travel per month and the equivalent of a second week each month to provide virtual educational support. Because the program receives referrals on an ongoing basis the travel location for in-person support is not typically confirmed until three weeks prior to departure. Due to limited flight availability to rural and remote communities, outreach may occasionally involve travel on a weekend or holiday. Consultants who work half-time for Provincial School Outreach may maintain an assignment with another school district as long as they are able to fulfill the one week per month travel requirement of the program.

Specialist consultants place primary emphasis on serving the immediate needs of schools with priority given to providing direct and indirect service to students and families in whatever capacity is needed. Consultants use their specialization to provide support based on the unique context of every situation. In this regard, the position is quite different in nature from a conventional specialist assignment at a school. Flexibility and innovation are essential as consultants can expect circumstances at the school to change at the last minute due to any number of factors, including staff shortages. This will result in occasions when consultants need to adapt how they support students and the school during their visit. For instances in which a student is not attending school for whatever reason, PSO consultants will discuss with families the possibility of visiting the home to provide support and/or carry out an assessment. The essential service that the program provides is making its support felt by a school community through building strong relationships with students, families, and staff during in-person visits. This position involves and requires collaborative innovation and learning, to build and maintain purposeful connections and relationships across British Columbia. The successful applicant understands the unique context of working in remote and rural regions of the province and meaningfully supporting students and families of Indigenous ancestry.

A Bachelor of Education Degree.

Successful experience teaching in the public education system.

A Masters Degree in Counselling.

Training and demonstrated ability to conduct Functional Assessments of Behaviour.
