Monash Tech School has been funded to create and deliver an innovative, rich Work Experience pilot for week-long placements for Year 10 students, that focuses specifically on Victoria's transition to Clean Energy.
We are seeking to employ a Clean Energy Engagement Project Officer to support the implementation of a 12-month pilot program. This role will comprise the managing of the key initiatives, liaising with key stakeholders, schools, students and industry stakeholders. The successful candidate will have an appropriate qualification and relevant experience working with industry, education, economic development, and a desire to integrate industry into schools¿ careers and pathways programs.
As the Clean Energy Engagement Project Officer you will be focussed on relationships that lead to excellence in Work Experience outcomes that will support students to make informed decisions about future pathways and occupations. You will advocate for Monash Tech School at industry forums, meetings and events. Your work may include:
Suitable marketing and communications campaigns will be led and coordinated by you in support of the pilot.
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.
