Melbourne, Australia Schools (Government) Full time

Location: Melbourne | Cranbourne

Job type: Part time / From 13/05/2024 - 26/01/2026

Organisation: Schools (Government)

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1412208

**Selection Criteria**:
SC1. Demonstrated capacity to undertake routine and specialised teacher assistant support tasks across a range of work areas within a Special School environment.

SC2. Demonstrated capacity to work co-operatively and communicate effectively within a team environment with a wide range of individuals including teachers, other support staff, therapists, parents and students.

SC3. Demonstrated understanding of the principles of effective behaviour management for students with an intellectual disability who might exhibit severe challenging behaviours.

SC4. Demonstrated experience and or willingness to give physical assistance with personal care/self-care responsibilities.

SC5. Demonstrated understanding of intellectual disability and its impact on learning.

**Role**:
Attendance during the school vacation periods is not required for this postion.

An education support class position at this range will perform tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice, and school policy under supervision and direction. This may include coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program.

An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students but must not include duties of a teacher as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the _Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic)_ or its successor. Supervision of students can be required individually or in groups up to 4 in controlled circumstances and where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.

Certification and/or qualifications of up to three years can be required at this level (noting that Registered Nurse is not included at this level, the first level for which is Level 1 range 3).

A role at this range may include:

- Specific support tasks to achieve outcomes. Typically, this will involve accountability for a single function, (e.g. ensuring data is properly maintained) or the co-ordination of a work area under the direction of the principal or a manager.
- Assisting teachers, within an educational program, by undertaking specific support tasks or the coordination of the support function.
- Supervised health and wellbeing support tasks, medical intervention support tasks, or other specialised student/teacher support roles (e.g. enrolled nurses performing the role as described in schedule 3). These roles require specific qualifications and/or training, including roles where further training must be undertaken 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.
- 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 would be typical examples.

An education support class position at this range commencing at the base will initially be limited to undertaking routine tasks that are carried out under close supervision and direction. Work that carries some degree of independence will generally involve a limited number of tasks performed on a regular basis where priorities are clear, procedures are well established, and direction is readily available. Subject to any specific qualification and/or training requirement, an education support class employee employed in this range may be progressively required to undertake coordination, specialised student/teacher support tasks, or technical tasks as experience in the role is gained.

**Responsibilities**:

- Provides routine support for teachers including assisting with planning of student routines.
- Participate in team meetings.
- Supports communication between teachers and parents, directing parents/carers to teacher for more detail.
- Provides specialised communication support for students and teachers in areas such as AUSLAN and braille/use of AAC.
- Assist with the communication between students and teachers, particularly the interpretation of instructions.
- Participate in the monitoring and evaluation of programs and evaluation of individual student involvement and achievement.
- Communicates with teachers on routine matters related to students and/or other responsibilities.
- Provides basic physical care and wellbeing support for students such as toileting, meals, and lifting.
- Communicating with student/s to support comprehension of basic tasks and information.
- Addresses immediate behavioural presentations relating to specific students within a classroom setting aligned to
