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

Somers School Camp is currently looking for a professional person to assist our Business Manager with a variety of task including accrual accounting, WorkCover and facilities management (AIMS). Training will be provided for the successful applicant with the possibility of this position evolving into a Business Manger role in the future. This position would be ideally suited to someone who has worked as an acting Business Manager in a small school or for someone who has undertaken a similar role as described in a larger school. We are a multi-campus residential school operating quite differently to mainstream schools. Our current administrative staff work a nine-day roster (Tuesday, to Wednesday of the following week inclusive) however this is negotiable.
Somers School Camp is a residential, multi-campus outdoor education government primary school. Our curriculum centres on building the capacity of the whole child, stewardship of the environment, meeting challenge and building resilience.
Our Somers campus has been in operation since 1959 and is located on 12 hectares of DE land, which extends through coastal bushland to the foreshore and the spectacular sandy beaches of Western Port Bay. All areas of Victoria are offered camps over a two-year period. One hundred and sixty Year 5 and 6 students (80 girls and 80 boys) from a large number of schools attend each of the 19 nine-day camps held every year. A total of three thousand and forty children attend Somers School Camp each year along with one hundred and seventy-one visiting teachers.
Our Woorabinda campus opened as the Warragul Inspectorate camp in 1973 and it has been a campus of Somers School Camp since 2010. Woorabinda is located on 145 hectares at Yallourn North in the Latrobe Valley on the banks of Lake Narracan. This campus shares a similar curriculum to Somers, however there is also a working hobby farm and lake kayaking as well as some expedition programs under canvas.
