Overview
Work Type: Fixed-term - Full-time
Salary: Salary not specified
Grade: Education Support - Level 1, Range 2
Occupation: Education and training
Location: Melbourne - Western suburbs
Reference: 1523797
Selection Criteria
SC1 Capacity to undertake routine tasks across a range of functions in one or more work areas within a school environment.
SC2 Demonstrated capacity to communicate effectively with members of the school community including parents and students, and the capacity to provide support and/or care to students where necessary.
SC3 Demonstrated experience within the sporting community and knowledge of the sporting world.

SC5 Capacity to work cooperatively with a range of people including teachers, education support staff.
SC6 A commitment to professional learning and growth that will enhance the role.
Role
This position is full time, 5 days per week.
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
Perform Reception duties, including answering and directing phone calls, screening and welcoming visitors, responding to internal and external front office enquiries, managing deliveries, and providing clerical and administrative support as required.
Maintain, enter, and retrieve data using the College¿s computer systems, including Compass and CASES21.
Manage the College¿s local payroll processes, including the collation of timesheets and data entry into the Department of Education¿s central payroll system (eduPay).
Coordinate equipment and supply orders specific to the Sports Academy.
Undertake general clerical duties, including filing, photocopying, collating, and archiving documentation as required.
Oversee MSA uniform stock levels and supplies, including stock control and liaison with parents/carers, staff, and suppliers.
Provide administrative support to the Administration Coordinator, Facility Manager and Talent Administrator as required.
Maintain and update the MSA Trophy Register.
Manage the MSA Reception and other areas, to ensure effective and efficient administrative procedures are in place.
In consultation with MSA Management, determine and manage work priorities within the MSA Reception.
