Job Description
Selection Criteria/n /n 1. Demonstrated knowledge and experience in providing first aid and responding to medical emergencies in a school or similar setting. /n 2. Demonstrated knowledge and experience in managing student medical conditions, administering medication, maintaining accurate health records and supporting students with identified health care needs. /n 3. Demonstrated ability to maintain accurate and confidential medical records, prepare medical correspondence and ensure compliance with relevant Department of Education policies, procedures and guidelines. /n 4. Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively with students, parents/carers, school staff and health professionals to support student health, safety and wellbeing. /n 5. Demonstrated organisational, time management and problem-solving skills, including the ability to prioritise competing demands, exercise sound judgement and work independently as well as collaboratively within a school environment. /n Role/n Time Fraction: 0.4 (15.2 hours per week) across 3 days per week. (Negotiable) /n Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of qualified 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. /n 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.



/n 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. /n 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. /n 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/n /n
