Role:


An education support class position at this range will perform tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice, and school policy under supervision and direction.

This may include coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program.


An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students but must not include duties of a teacher as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the _Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic)_ or its successor.

Supervision of students can be required individually or in groups up to 4 in controlled circumstances and where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.


Certification and/or qualifications of up to three years can be required at this level (noting that Registered Nurse is not included at this level, the first level for which is Level 1 range 3).


A role at this range may include:

  • Specific support tasks to achieve outcomes. Typically, this will involve accountability for a single function, (e.g. ensuring data is properly maintained) or the co-ordination of a work area under the direction of the principal or a manager.
  • Assisting teachers, within an educational program, by undertaking specific support tasks or the coordination of the support function.
  • Supervised health and wellbeing support tasks, medical intervention support tasks, or other specialised student/teacher support roles (e.g. enrolled nurses performing the role as described in schedule 3). These roles require specific qualifications and/or training, including roles where further training must be undertaken from time to time. The role is for a specific purpose, for which there will be direct accountability as opposed to support roles that are carried out by a range of staff performing routine tasks under direction.
  • Technical tasks that require a sound knowledge of basic technical and/or scientific principles that are used to develop and adapt work methods and make judgements where there are clear guidelines and limited options. Routine technical support in libraries, science, and information technology would be typical examples.


An education support class position at this range commencing at the base will initially be limited to undertaking routine tasks that are carried out under close supervision and direction.

Work that carries some degree of independence will generally involve a limited number of tasks performed on a regular basis where priorities are clear, procedures are well established, and direction is readily available.

Subject to any specific qualification and/or training requirement, an education support class employee employed in this range may be progressively required to undertake coordination, specialised student/teacher support tasks, or technical tasks as experience in the role is gained.


Responsibilities:


  • Collate, maintain and update attendance data.
  • Review compass data, produce reports and communicate with relevant staff.
  • Provide attendance information to the staff as requested.
  • Ensure that all attendance records are kept in compliance with the school's policies and procedures
  • Promote whole school attendance strategies.
  • Work alongside the Sub School Teams, the Wellbeing Team and other key school staff to implement reengagement programs and strategies
  • Work with individual students and families to reengage them and improve levels of attendance
  • Provide wellbeing support to students whose attendance is at risk
  • Confer with parents/carers daily regarding student absences.
  • Investigate attendance problems reported by others.
Minimum Qualifications (one of the below listed)

  • Certificate IV in Community Services (CHC42015)
  • Certificate IV in Mental Health (CHC43315)
  • Certificate IV in Youth Justice (CHC40513)
Certificate IV in Youth Work (CHC40413)
