Building and Grounds Maintenance

3 weeks ago


Melbourne, Australia Schools (Government) Full time

Location: Melbourne | Eastern Metropolitan

Job type: Full time / From 02/10/2023

Organisation: Schools (Government)

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1363353

**Selection Criteria**:
SC1 Relevant experience and /or qualifications to fulfil the expected duties of the Buildings & Grounds Maintenance position.

SC2 Ability to effectively prioritise and work systematically with mínimal supervision.

SC3 Knowledge of Occupational Health & Safety policies and procedures and an ability to manage risk within the work environment.

SC4 Ability to communicate effectively and engage others within the school community to maintain a clean, safe and presentable environment.

SC5 Dedication to undertake professional development to further enhance skills within the role.

**Role**:
This position has 4 weeks annual leave entitlement, school holiday attendance is required. A leave purchase allowance will be paid.

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.
