Company Description
At Heathmont College students feel safe, while at the same time challenged and supported by a positive school culture. Many opportunities are provided for students to be the best they can be. We are immensely proud of our strong student leadership program, passionate sporting teams, outstanding languages programs and vibrant performing arts curriculum. We invite you to join our community of learners at Heathmont College. We undertake to do our utmost to provide our students with the knowledge and skills they need to reach their goals. In return, we expect students to work hard, to do their best and most of all – to enjoy their educational experiences. Heathmont College has adopted a House system with 4 Houses. This has enabled a vertical management structure to look after the educational and wellbeing needs of all students. A mentor program and whole school implementation of Positive Education will enhance student and staff connectedness. The College offers a traditional VCE course of study with students in Year 10 being able to access a range of VCE Units 1 & 2 to enhance their study. A VM course of study at Intermediate and Senior levels is offered to selected students. Students in Year 9 follow a traditional course of study with the addition of our 9Life Program designed to challenge and engage students. A variety of enrichment and excellence programs are offered across the College. Students in Years 7-11 can apply for selection to our Sports Academy. Heathmont College features a state-of-the-art Sports Stadium which serves as a central hub for our Heathmont College Sports Academy Program as well as community basketball competition, alongside our Performing Arts Centre which is host to our annual school production. Data is used extensively by teachers to differentiate instruction and to help all students experience success in their learning. We are proud of our students’ academic success.

Role Description
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.
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.
