Selection Criteria:

SC1 Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills and an ability to maintain comprehensive data on students

SC2 Demonstrated ability to undertake individual careers counselling for students and families

SC3 Capacity to coordinate the delivery of a range of careers support services

SC4 Demonstrated understanding of school pathways and transition planning in Senior and Middle School to support students and parents

SC5 Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain networks that enhance the provision of effective internal and external services for students

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:

This role reports to the Careers Leader and the Head of Senior School

Individual career counselling for students including selfexploration and understanding of the student¿s strengths, abilities, values, interests and weaknesses and relating this to discussion/exploration of career interests and appropriate career and educational pathways in relation to Vocational Pathways
