[Attendance requirement for this position]
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.
Albert Park College has a dynamic music program and requires a Guitar Instructor to deliver solo and group lessons.
The position will involve instructing group and individual lessons in guitar from beginner to advanced levels. The successful candidate will also be responsible for preparing students for a range of concerts, performances and assemblies.
A focus on developing a strong technical foundation and musical characteristics as well as the applicant providing students with a grounding in diverse musical styles is required. An active professional background as a performer will be highly regarded.
Applicants should display a positive collegiate attitude and an ability to work within a supportive instrumental team that is available for a variety of performances through the year and information sessions for instrumental music program recruitment events.
The College request that each applicant consider including the following:
Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.
