Melbourne, Australia Schools (Government) Full time

Location: Melbourne | Northern Metropolitan

Job type: Full time / From 29/01/2024 - 20/12/2024

Organisation: Schools (Government)

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Other

Reference: 1355609

**Selection Criteria**:
SC1 Effective time management and organisational skills

SC2 Relevant workplace experience and knowledge of science laboratory practices

SC3 Capacity to work and collaborate with others in a team environment

SC4 High level communication and interpersonal skills in relation to the work area

**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**:
The Science Laboratory Technician will maintain the Science facilities across the college and support the delivery of science programs by sourcing and preparing materials for practical classes, maintaining stock and equipment and providing relevant assistance to teachers and students.

**Responsibilities**:

- Liaise with science 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
- Demonstrate experiments and laboratory techniques to teachers and others and advise on chemical and equipment safety matters where appropriate
- Liaising with students on their equipment and material needs for projects and advising them on appropriate safety procedures when directed by staff
- Supporting practical classes by preparing chemical substances according to recognised procedures, setting up equipment where required, checking and maintaining equipment and organising for repairs and packing away equipment and materials after use
- Trialling experiments and assisting teaching staff with demonstrations and practical classes as required
- Maintaining the chemical register for the school and safe storage systems for chemical substances in accordance with current government regulations and recommended practices
- Induction of new teaching staff in relation to laboratory procedures, equipment, safety and booking of practical exercises
- Prepare materials, solutions, stains, media, specimens and apparatus required for class practical work and teacher demonstrations
- Ensure chemical solutions, culture media and other laboratory reagents are prepared for each lesson in line with government regulations on the safe handling and labelling of chemicals
- Ensure apparatus (including glassware) is cleaned and returned to designated storage areas after use
- Ensure the safe disposal of biological wastes, chemical residues and other waste materials in accordance with government hazardous chemical regulations
- Ensure chemicals are stored in the correct zones in accordance with the current government hazardous chemical regulations
- Ensure preparation rooms a
