Dimensions of work
School Services Officers
The Dimensions of Work describe the nature and scope of work relevant to each salary range within the SSO structure.
The Dimensions of Work cover the following areas for each SSO salary range:
General work description: defines the typical features and characteristics of this salary range and the level of instruction required to complete allocated duties. This should be used as an initial indication of where a position might be classified. Having decided the appropriate level this should then be compared with the general work description above and below the defined range to confirm the choice.
Features and skill requirements: defines the difficulty of the work, the skill level required by the position and the level of assistance the position receives through expert advice, manuals and documented procedures. This information assists in developing the key selection criteria for advertisement of the position.
Typical task areas: provides a sample of the type of duties that a person can be expected to perform at a particular salary range. It is not expected that all duties listed would be performed by one position. However, a position may have a range of duties across a number of work areas (e.g. office, library, teacher aide work) providing the duties and responsibilities required of the position are, on balance, within the parameters of the salary range.
