Location: Geelong

Job type: Part time / From 28/01/2025 - 23/01/2026

Organisation: Schools (Government)

**Salary**: Salary not specified

Occupation: Education and Training

Reference: 1449268

**Selection Criteria**:

- Demonstrated high level of musicality in the area of your instrument
- Demonstrated capacity to use a range of strategies and current technologies to support student learning
- Capacity to monitor student learning and provide effective feedback to students about their progress and how to improve
- Demonstrated high level of ability to support sectionals and to direct ensembles in collaboration with teaching staff
- Demonstrated capacity to develop constructive relationships with students, parents and staff
- Demonstrated commitment to participate in professional development

**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**:

- Create an environment of active learning by employing a range of strategies to meet the needs of students
- Monitor each student¿s progress to enable teaching staff to keep the student and parents informed of progress
- Keep accurate records of achievement and attendance in order to provide meaningful reports to parents as required
- Maintain your instrumental area by regularly checking the equipment for possible damage, updating asset records, obtaining quotes for repair and keeping in regular communication with the music staff
- Actively participate in music meetings and school activities
- Liaise with the Principal, the music staff and other relevant teams of staff when required
