Location: Southern Metropolitan
Reference: 1477012
Location Profile
Bentleigh West Primary School is located in a well-established residential area (15km from the CBD), with the local community attracting young families with high educational aspirations for their children. The school is considered highly within the community, experiencing significant growth with a current population of 783, with an SFOE of approximately 0.12.
The school has undergone an extensive capital works program across all learning spaces, and we are fortunate to have premium communal areas, significant sporting facilities and interactive workspaces. Bentleigh West Primary School has implemented many of the High Impact Teaching Strategies outlined by Victoria's Education State initiative. The school subscribes to the ******** Direct Instruction Model (Hollingsworth, Ybarra) and this role involves coaching teachers in this model and refining of curriculum documents in line with latest research. The gradual release of responsibility model is similar. BWPS is also well regarded for its evidence informed literacy and numeracy approaches.
High level content knowledge and ability to development teachers' instruction in the areas of Phonemic Awareness, Phonics (Systematic Synthetic Phonics), Fluency, Vocabulary (including morphology) and Comprehension will be highly advantageous along with Number Sense, Fluency and understanding of the Singapore Bar Model.
Vision:
BWPS is committed to:
Fostering knowledgeable, respectful and caring young people who contribute positively and responsibly to their local and global community.
Be recognised as a high performing school with a reputation of evidence based best practice that is visible in each classroom.
Selection Criteria
SC1 Demonstrated capacity to perform duties consistent with established guidelines and frameworks, including coordinating and supporting others in respect to specific work functions relevant to the role.
SC2 Demonstrated capacity to work and collaborate with others in a team environment.
SC3 Demonstrated capacity to communicate effectively in a team environment, including high level oral and written communication skills.
SC4 Possess the technical knowledge and expertise relevant to the position.
SC5 Demonstrated capacity to provide advice and support to management and other school staff in respect to the work area.
SC6 A commitment to professional learning and growth for both self and others.
Role
Attendance is 5 days per week during school terms.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Technical tasks that require a sound knowledge of the 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.
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.
Responsibilities
Ensure the provision of a range of administrative support functions for the Principal and teaching staff.
Provide administrative support to external service providers as required.
Manage the processing of student admissions, registrations, enrolments and transfers.
Provide required level of administrative support for school events, functions and projects.
Implement induction programs for new staff, volunteers and other workers to 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.
The Department of Education is committed to the principles of equal opportunity, and diversity and inclusion for all. We value diversity and inclusion in all forms - gender, religion, ethnicity, LGBTIQ+, disability and neurodiversity. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates are strongly encouraged to apply for roles within the Department.
