About this job
This is open to Expressions of Interest and any extensions to this appointment will not exceed 12 months.
Welcome to Hercules Road State School:
At Hercules Road State School our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which all children can develop a love of learning and positive self-esteem, thus equipping them with the confidence needed to take risks in their learning. We believe that this can be achieved by following our rules and values, known as ‘The HERCS'.
Harmony – I am responsible for my actions
Excellence – I am persistent and aim high
Resilience – I 'bounce back' when things go wrong
Community – I am a learner
Safety – I behave in a safe way
Through the application of these rules and the use of positive behaviour management strategies, we encourage students to make responsible choices and assist them in learning to do this independently.
Responsibilities include:
- Responsible for a range of day to day activities that may include delivering and collecting mail, parcels and documents; recording and delivering of messages; printing and photocopying; preparing classrooms for examinations and preparing activity/assembly halls, including moving/arranging furniture and seating; removing and relocating furniture from room to room; general store duties including receipting, opening up, checking, storing and distributing school supplies and stocks; maintaining various registers; and stocktaking and recording/engraving of school equipment/furniture and assets.
- Support a variety of security duties at the school that involve using and maintaining the school security systems; banking of school funds (this does not refer to the collection, receipt, or reconciliation of funds, but rather to the transport and depositing of funds at the appropriate banking institution); and locking and unlocking buildings (within core hours).
- Assist with a range of duties that include clearing and hosing of drains and gutters; collection of waste, food and paper on school grounds as agreed by relevant staff and the Principal, Business Manager and/or nominated delegate; undertaking immediate action cleaning duties (outside the normal operating hours of the school's cleaning staff); coordinating the removal and/or disposal of rubbish as required (does not include emptying of bins in agreed eating areas); assist with requirements for significant events such as fetes, plays and major sporting events.
- Ensure compliance with workplace health and safety requirements including maintenance of a safe work environment; safe storage and handling of chemicals, fertilisers and fuel; bring to appropriate attention any safety hazards; manage equipment records; and maintain tools and equipment for repair services (as per manufacturers' service manuals).
- Attend to/or arrange repairs and maintenance within the school, including those which relate to furniture and equipment; locks and windows; swimming pools (e.g. maintaining proper water quality, testing water, keeping records of tests, adjusting/adding chemicals as consistent with workplace, health and safety (WHS) guidelines and procedures); and school facilities.
