Victoria has secured funding from the Australian Government¿s Workload Reduction Fund to trial a new type of Education Support role in schools to reduce teacher workload. The Teacher Administration Assistant will play an integral role in supporting a reduction in teacher workload. The role involves performing a variety of tasks typically undertaken by teachers that do not require a teaching qualification, VIT registration, or the specific skills and knowledge of a teacher. The Teacher Administration Assistant will undertake these responsibilities and reduce the workload of teachers.
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.
The Department of Education is committed to the principles of equal opportunity, and diversity and inclusion for all.
