Melbourne, Australia Education and Training Full time

Location: Melbourne | Northern Metropolitan

Job type: Part time / From 13/03/2023 - 26/01/2024

Organisation: Education and Training

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1333153

**Selection Criteria**:
**SC 1**. Preferred, but not essential - current recognised trade qualification, and with demonstrated experience and skills in the areas of gardening, horticulture and minor maintenance.

**SC 2**. Demonstrated ability to work independently and unsupervised, with an ability to prioritise and structure work tasks to meet deadlines in an efficient and effective manner.

**SC 4**. Demonstrated ability to work as part of a team, working co-operatively with a range of people and ability to communicate effectively with teachers, education support staff, students and contractors.

**SC 5**. Demonstrated ability to operate and maintain equipment and machinery, relevant to the role.

**SC 6**. Willingness to provide after hours service/repairs in emergencies, as required.

**SC 7**. A commitment to professional learning and growth.

**Role**:
The position may require attendance during school holiday periods in which case a leave purchase allowance is paid for this attendance

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**:

- Responsible for the maintenance of the Fitzroy North Primary School grounds and gardens, in particular:

- Maintenance of garden beds and other grassed areas, including spraying for weeds (excludes the adjacent oval)
- Weeding, pruning, replanting and mulching of garden beds, trees and shrubs
- Keeping school grounds clean and tidy, including collecting and removing rubbish/debris, emptying ground bins for general rubbish and internal recycling bins, the use of a leaf blower and high pressure water cleaner.
- Development of new gardens and plantings
- Responsible for completing minor maintenance tasks and upkeep of School buildings (basic repairs to student lockers, classroom furniture, locks, doors, hinges, windows, taps, toilets, downpipes, spouts, plaster boards, painting, fences/gates and light fittings), as required, to ensure buildings and grounds are in a useable and safe condition - reporting any major OH&S issues immediately to the Assistant Principal or Business Manager.

- Complete appropriate paperwork for jobs completed and orders for supplies.
- Comply with Occupational Health & Safety and Work Safe standards, in particular wearin
