Melbourne, Australia Education and Training Full time

Location: Melbourne | CBD

Job type: Part time / From 23/01/2023 - 07/07/2023

Organisation: Education and Training

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Other

Reference: 1315016

**Selection Criteria**:
**SC1** Demonstrated knowledge and experience in a school science laboratory environment

**SC2** High level organisational skills with a demonstrated ability for effective time management, establishing priorities, procedures and guidelines relating to the work area

**SC3** Demonstrated high level oral, written and electronic communication skills

**SC4** Demonstrated capacity to provide advice and support to management in respect to the work area

**SC5** Demonstrated knowledge of OHS policy and procedures, including; Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Substances regulations, risk assessments and chemical Material Safety Data Sheets

**SC6** Demonstrated capacity to show initiative, contribute to a positive school culture and live by organisational values

**Role**:
Performs and/or supervises tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice and school policy. This may include the supervision and coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program. Supervision and coordination would be limited to ensuring routine tasks are performed to required standards. Input into identifying training needs and development of education support class staff within the work area or educational program becomes an important feature at range 2.

Specialised support to achieve specific outcomes is a feature of range 2. Typically this will involve accountability for a single function, (e.g. ensuring data is properly maintained) or the operation of a work area (e.g. managing the day to day operation of a school office) under the direction of the principal or another senior manager.

Provides support to teachers and students that is beyond the routine support provided at education support class Level 1, range 1. Within an educational program assists teachers with the coordination of the support function, such as directing/organising the work of other support staff or providing a specialist support role.

Undertakes medical intervention support tasks or other specialised student/teacher support roles that require specific training that must be updated from time to time. The role is for a specific purpose for which there will be direct accountability as opposed to support roles that are carried out by a range of staff performing routine tasks under direction.

Performs technical tasks that require a sound knowledge of basic technical and/or scientific principles that are used to develop and adapt work methods and make judgements where there are clear guidelines and limited options. Routine technical support in libraries, science and information technology laboratories would be typical examples.

An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students, but must not include duties of teaching as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students cannot be required except where it is an integral part of the employee's position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.

**Responsibilities**:
**Specific Duties**:

- Liaise with science teaching staff on their needs for practical work and maintain an efficient system for use and allocation of materials and equipment setting a priority system where necessary.
