Instrumental Music Instructor

**Overview**:
**Work Type**:Fixed-term - Part-time

**Salary**: Salary not specified

**Grade**:Education Support - Level 1, Range 3

**Occupation**:Education and training

**Location**:Melbourne - Western suburbs

**Reference**:1485464

**Location Profile**:
**Selection Criteria**:

- Demonstrated capacity and skills to coordinate a specific education support function.
- Demonstrated high level oral and written communication skills.
- Possess the technical knowledge and expertise relevant to the position.
- Demonstrated experience in leading group ensembles and being able to contribute to the band program
- Demonstrated capacity to provide advice and support to management in respect to the work area.
- Possess a relevant qualification and ability to provide high-quality lessons in both individual and small group situations as directed by the Instrumental Music Co-ordinator and the College Administration

**Role**:

- 1 day per week during the school terms
- 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**:

- Provide weekly Instrumental instruction in small group and individual situations.
- Contribute to the development, implementation and evaluation of an effective program for students.
- Take responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the school¿s collection of instruments and provide advice on new purchases that may be necessary.
- Undertake other duties as determined by the Instrumental Music Co-ordinator or School Administration.
- Participate in activities such as staff meetings; school concerts and school production as required

**Who May Apply**:

- Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.
