ES staff: tell us about your job!

Jobs change over time. To ensure you are being paid at the correct rate, we need to know about the roles and tasks you are performing that are not currently reflected in your Agreements.

If your role has changed significantly in the last five years, we would like to know, as any review of classification structures need to be underpinned by member feedback.

There will be a comprehensive survey coming out, but we also need to hear from you directly because often a job grows until it doesn’t bear any resemblance to where it began.

Examples of additional duties include:

• translating and interpreting outside the classroom.

• assisting with vision impaired students outside of the classroom

• consulting with physios, occupational therapists, psychologists and speech pathologists/therapists to assist specific students

If you are a Learning Support Officer or Aide, are you working under consistent supervision or are you expected to work with or supervise students independently?

If you work in administration, are you performing the Daily Organiser role? Are you working as the timetabler? Do you manage staff absences? Does that require you to be on call?

Are you the VASS coordinator in your secondary school?

Are you the Careers counsellor?

If you work in Food Technology, do you manage food allergy protocols? Do you assist students in practical classes?

If you work in the library, the laboratory or IT, how much autonomy do you have in your role?

If you are an SSO, what is your role? Do you have a qualification and/or certificates?

In any roles you perform, are you involved with budgeting?

We want to make sure that ES staff's workloads are measured accurately and that you're paid for the work you actually do, not tasks based on an old job description. Please get in touch with us to make sure everything is up-to-date.
