Rosamond School is a day special school. Our mandate is the provision of exemplary individual programs for our students - young people with a clinically diagnosed mild or mild/moderate Intellectual Disability whom live in the Inner West of Melbourne. The eligibility of our students to qualify for our setting is based on a Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) of 50-70. Many of our students are also diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down Syndrome and/or Cerebral Palsy.
Our vision is for exemplary learning to be delivered by outstanding and dedicated staff inspiring all to be confident, resilient and independent individuals, valuing self and others.
Our values are: Honesty; Acceptance; Respect; and Trust.
We provide an inclusive, safe and supportive environment for all to reach their full potential at school and beyond.
Please address the following Key Selection Criteria in your application:
SC1 Capacity to undertake routine support tasks across a range of functions in one or more work areas within a school environment.
SC2 Capacity to communicate effectively with members of the school community including teachers, education support, students and parents.
SC3 Capacity to provide support and/or attendant care to students where necessary.
SC4 Capacity to work cooperatively with a range of people including teachers, education support, students and parents.
SC5 A demonstrated ability to manage challenging and unpredictable behaviour.
SC6 A commitment to professional learning and growth.
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:
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.
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.
