Selection Criteria

Role

• 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.

Responsibilities

• Conducts routine scientific procedures and/or data collection, collation, and analysis
• Applies basic scientific principles to enable the performance of a variety of interrelated technical tasks
• Provides specialised knowledge that is relied upon to deliver support services, under direction (e.g. information technology and technical support in science laboratories, food technologies and libraries)
• Contributes to a small project team providing technical support to a school/s
• Conducts training and/or instruction with respect to scientific processes
• Prepares experiments or use of equipment and conducts demonstrations, where required, under direct supervision
