Melbourne Eastern Suburbs, Australia Victorian Government Full time $80,000 - $104,000 per year
Overview

Work Type: Ongoing - Part-time

Salary: Salary not specified

Grade: Education Support - Level 1, Range 3

Occupation: Education and training

Location: Melbourne - Eastern suburbs

Reference:

Selection Criteria

SC1 Demonstrated expertise in systems analysis, design, and enhancement of computer systems in a school setting

SC 2 Demonstrated stakeholder engagement skills in technical program management and user training in a school setting

SC 3 Demonstrated ability to collaborate with teaching staff to design and deliver ICT-based student enhancement programs

SC 4 Proven capacity to collaborate with teaching staff to deliver student learning programs across key learning areas

SC 5 Demonstrated ability to work independently and proactively, as well as collaboratively within a team

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 minimal 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 employees 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
  • Undertake systems design, program design and specification and direct programming changes necessary to enhance, modify or maintain a computer system.
  • Evaluate and report on the operational efficiency of computer systems in production, making recommendations for improvement where appropriate.
  • Examine and report on the efficiency and effectiveness of hardware configurations, software operating systems, data transmission networks and generalised software packages.
  • Develop and conduct training programs for computer systems users.
  • Modify and adapt accepted methods and guidelines and interpret and analyse complex data across several sub-disciplines.
  • Develop techniques and procedures that will affect work practices beyond the work place.
  • Manage a technical program with a broad scope across the school.
Who May Apply

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

EEO AND OHS Commitment

Applicants seeking part-time employment are encouraged to apply for any teaching service position and, if they are the successful candidate, request a reduced time fraction. Such requests will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis and will be subject to the operational requirements of the school.

Located in a well-established, inner-suburban area in Melbourne¿s eastern suburbs, Auburn Primary School currently has an enrolment of 385 students. The school grounds are spacious and well-maintained, featuring beautiful gardens, and the site has a heritage overlay.

The school¿s approach to teaching and learning is carefully structured to provide a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy while fostering engagement through personalised learning and inquiry-based teaching.

This developmental model ensures students are supported to progress from their current skill level to the next stage, maintaining high expectations and engagement.

Auburn¿s commitment to professional learning and leadership development is a defining feature of the school¿s culture. Team teaching, collaboration, and a shared vision of continuous improvement are core expectations for staff. A mentoring program supports teacher development, alongside research-based professional learning opportunities. The school is also committed to fostering leadership, including the annual School Council sponsored Future Leaders Scholarship offering aspiring leaders opportunities to further develop their skills and impact.

Auburn Primary School is an inclusive, forward-thinking, and highly engaged learning community where students, staff, and families work together to ensure the best outcomes for all learners. The school¿s commitment to excellence, improvement and collaboration provides a strong foundation for future growth and continued success.
