3 months ago


Melbourne, Australia Schools (Government) Full time

Location: Melbourne | Southern Metropolitan

Job type: Full time / From 28/01/2025

Organisation: Schools (Government)

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Other

Reference: 1433082

**Selection Criteria**:
SC1: Suitable qualifications in Science (certificate level required, degree level preferred)

SC2: Demonstrated knowledge of the technical support required in school science laboratories

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 commitment to professional learning and growth for both self and others

**Role**:
Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field. It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs.

Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved. This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.

The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility. Staff management issues will be resolved with mínimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases. Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations.

This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered. Professional support and guidance will be close at hand and deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.

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**:
**LABORATORY DUTIES**:

- Prepare solutions, stains and media for general use
- Set out equipment and materials for classroom/department use
- Assist with care of flora/fauna
- Assist science teaching staff with enforcement of safety measures
- Assist with stocktaking of equipment/material
- Assist with record keeping
- Carry out simple maintenance of equipment and materials
- Report damages to equipment and arrange repairs
- Ensure all OHS requirements are met

**Who May Apply**:
Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.

**EEO AND OHS Commitment**:
**Child Safe Standards**:
Victorian government schools are child safe environments. Our schools actively promote the safety and wellbeing of all students, and all school staff are committed to protecting students from abuse or harm in the school environment, in accordance with their legal obligations including child safe standards.
