SC1 Demonstrated ability and skills to co-ordinate the Gunditjmara Culture and Language in Schools project.

SC2 Demonstrated capacity to mentor other DET staff and to develop procedures and guidelines relating to implementation of GCLS project, including liaising with the appropriate stakeholders in a manner that is both culturally appropriate and sensitive.

SC3 Demonstrated high level oral and written communication skills in Dhauwurd Wurrung and English.

SC4 Possess the technical knowledge and expertise relevant to the position.

SC5 Demonstrated capacity to provide advice and support to management in respect to the work area.

SC6 Demonstrated commitment to professional learning and growth for both self and others.

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.

The Language Support Officer will:

• Liaise and provide support across all the schools involved in the program.
• Participate in classes and activities as determined in consultation with each school¿s language team coordinator
• Support classroom teachers in delivery of the language program (pronunciation, meanings, cultural considerations etc.)
• Participate in planning activities with classroom teachers as required
• Assist with the development of resources, including teacher professional learning, to support the delivery of their school¿s language programs, and
• Provide GCLS Professional Learning as required within individuals schools and the GCLS group
• Participate in professional development activities provided by the DET Languages Unit
• Attend regular meetings and update the GCLS Leadership team on the program within each school setting
• Review the effectiveness of the GCLS program annually with the GCLS Leadership team

As time goes by it is expected that proficiency will increase alongside leadership capabilities.

Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.

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.
