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 The responsibilities of this position will be:
* Provide first aid care to sick or injured students/staff and contact relevant emergency contacts as required.
* Utilise the software provided (currently Cases21, Xuno and EduSafe Plus) to record details of first aid attendances and parent communications, as required.
* Administer medications as per medical plans and maintain accurate records.
* Ensure student medical alerts are up to date and communicate effectively to staff.
* Maintain record keeping and documentation of student medical plans in line with DoE policy, e.g. Anaphylaxis, Diabetes, Asthma and Epilepsy etc.
* Liaise with families to maintain/update student medical plans and medication.
* Attend to parent and staff enquiries and provide support in the areas of first aid matters.
* Liaise with colleagues to support the efficient operation of day-to-day activities, excursions/camps, and events in relation to first aid requirements and provide support in preparation of kits.
* Manage first aid supplies including first aid kit management.
* Support the wellbeing coordinator.
* Participate in First Aid training and professional development and ensure current knowledge of Departmental policies relating to first aid.
* Provide routine administrative support including general telephone and front office enquiries, mail deliveries, filing and assisting with stock control.
* Perform other duties relevant to the area of responsibility as requested by the Business Manager, Office Manager or Principal Class.
