Role
[Attendance requirement for this position]
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 skilled 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 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 responsibilities of this position will be:
- Maintain and update the SSG database tool.
- Manage and maintain Teacher Feedback Form.
- Manage external provider documentation.
- Manage NDIS therapy requests and scheduling.
- Maintain and update student files as required.
- Manage SSG and facilitator meeting schedules.
- Upload inclusion documents to student profiles upon completion.
- Manage initial set up of inclusion templates including IEP and SSG documents.
- Support students with inclusion needs as directed (i.e. transition days, incursions).
- Populate minutes template with teacher feedback 48 hours prior to scheduled SSG meetings.
- Take minutes and voice teacher feedback to members of the SSG during scheduled meetings.
- Finalise minutes and notify SSG facilitator within 48 hours of the completion of the SSG meeting.
- Organise termly/ semesterly consultations with SSG facilitators (Junior, Middle and Senior School Inclusion Support Coordinators, Wellbeing leader, Language Support Program Coordinator, ACE program, and Gateway leaders).
