Location Profile
With approximately 2400 students, Narre Warren South P-12 College is a culturally diverse community located on Bunurong Country in the south-east of Melbourne. The grounds and facilities are clean, modern and well resourced, enabling engaging teaching and learning programs.
In 2025, we are focusing on establishing a safe and orderly learning environment (SOLE) which is underpinned by the VTLM2.0 and PCMS. Collective efficacy, clear communication and supportive collaboration actively contribute to the Narre `SOLE¿, with our actions having the most impact when all staff uphold these values.
As a school that has an ICSEA OF 919 we are in the 15th percentile in terms of levels of advantage. Staff at NWSP12 are intrinsically motivated by the responsibility of closing the gap of advantage and are committed to the growth and success of all our students. We work towards this goal by implementing high expectations, and the development and delivery of a coherent curriculum.
Staff interested in this position are encouraged to email Business Manager, Ken Sellers ([email protected]) to request a phone call or return email.
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
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 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.
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.
