Selection Criteria
SC1 Demonstrated capacity to perform duties consistent with established guidelines and frameworks, including coordinating and supporting others in respect to specific work functions relevant to the role.
SC2 Demonstrate capacity to work collaboratively and communicate effectively in a team environment.
SC3 Possess the technical knowledge and expertise relevant to the position.
SC4 Demonstrated capacity to provide advice and support to management and other school staff in respect to the work area.
Role
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.

Location Profile
Numurkah Secondary College is excited to invite you to be part of our growing College community.
We are a co-educational College, situated approximately 30kms north of Shepparton. Numurkah is a town of approximately 4700 people. In years past, it has predominantly been a farming district, however the make-up of our community is changing. A number of our families fall into a low socio-economic category. Buses transport students to our school from the surrounding districts of Waaia, Tallygaroopna, Katunga, Strathmerton, Katamatite, Invergordon, Wunghnu and more.
The College currently has a student population of approximately 260 students and our enrolments are increasing with an expected increase within the next few years.
This year the College has launched a fresh and new approach to our delivery of curriculum, incorporating some vertical grouping and an increase in student voice. Our goal is to ensure that our classes meet the Victorian Curriculum and the needs of our cohort.
The staff of Numurkah Secondary College are not only invested in delivering the best Teaching and Learning but are committed to ensuring that the Engagement of our students is high. In addition, the College has a well-established Wellbeing program, and this has been enhanced by the introduction of the Resilience Project in 2022. Our strategic intent is to support students to learn effectively and to develop positive attitudes and behaviours. We endeavour to provide a learning environment that will nurture personal development and establish a strong connection to the College.
The challenges of becoming a lifelong learner, pursuing further study, successfully entering the workplace and being a responsible member of society face all students. The school staff assist students to meet these challenges and be not only responsible individuals who are able to relate to family, friends and colleagues, but informed citizens, who understand and can contribute to the community in which they live and the wider world around them.
