Job description

At Rocketship Public Schools, we believe in the infinite possibility of human potential. We believe that every student deserves the right to dream, to discover, and to develop their unique potential and it is our responsibility and our privilege to unleash the potential inside every Rocketeer we serve. Our non-profit network of public elementary charter schools propels student achievement, develops exceptional educators, and partners with parents who enable high-quality public schools to thrive in their community. We are a collective of parents, teachers, leaders, and students working together to transform the future for underserved communities across our country. At Rocketship Public Schools, we are unleashing potential.

Our Multi-Tier Systems Support (MTSS) Team serves all students, including across all disabilities (mild, moderate, and severe), through an innovative approach that includes coaching and deep partnership with our general education partners, integrated special education (ISE) partners, school leaders, and related service providers. To best serve our Rocketeers we work to serve students across all areas of need: academic, social-emotional, and behavior. 

Position Summary: 
Based in San Jose, CA and reporting to the Manager of Wellness Counselors, the Wellness Counselor Intern will provide direct mental health services to general education students,  as well as providing consultation and coaching to school leaders and teachers regarding issues of trauma, mental health, behavior, and community resources. 
The Wellness Counselor Intern will serve one to two school sites which may include schools in San Jose, Redwood City, Concord, or Antioch.  The Wellness Counselor Intern will  partner closely with school psychologists, behavior intervention specialists, special education case managers, school leaders, general education teachers and program specialists to provide direct mental health services and support with ongoing implementation and coaching of strategies to help students succeed in their classrooms. The Wellness Counselor Intern may also be involved in crisis level support and creation of safety plans for students with more significant safety concerns, as well as provide parent training and/or workshops to support students beyond the classroom. 
This position requires a willingness and openness to working with students with emotional and behavioral needs.

  • Provide crisis intervention for both general education students and special education students as needed. 
  • Collaborate with and be a part of any coordinated meetings (SST meetings, MTSS meetings) as the mental health professional. 
  • Maintain case notes for student services provided in compliance with the state licensing board and professional code of ethics.

  • Ensure the MTSS Team is viewed as positive supports to the organization's mission that are fully aligned with Rocketship's Core Characteristics (Innovation, Pursuit of Excellence, Authenticity, Community, and Tenacity), and not as bureaucratic obstacles to serving the needs of the students.
Qualifications:
  • Active and current enrollment in a Master's Level (or higher) Mental Health Program (e.g. MSW, MFT, PCC, or School Counseling/PPSC) (required)
  • Commitment to Rocketship's special education inclusion model and overall mission to close the achievement gap within our lifetime
  • Familiarity with socio-emotional learning competencies, trauma informed education practices, multi-tiered systems of supports (MTSS), and restorative practices
