About the Opportunity
VICSERV is in the process of rewriting current training material, in line with changes in sector practice and with the new Community Services and Health 08 Training Package. As a result, the organisation has a fantastic opportunity for two Training Courseware Developers to join its welcoming team in Elsternwick. These are six-month contract positions.
The primary purpose of this role is to develop the new Community Services 08 training programs to support the PDRS sector. These programs include Certificate IV in Mental Health and Diploma of Community Services (Alcohol and Other Drugs and Mental Health).
Reporting to the Development Manager: Training, in consultation with the PDRS sector, the key deliverables of this position are to:
- Design and develop PDRS sector specific training programs for VICSERV members and clients
- Ensure that individual training programs are designed and developed in line with AQTF standards, Wodonga TAFE standards, VICSERV design framework, Community Services and Health 08 Training Package and PDRS Sector needs
- Work with the Project Manager (Courseware Development) to respond to PDRS sector training needs to ensure that appropriate training is developed to meet specific worker and organisation needs
- Assist with the identification of training needs and opportunities in the PDRS sector to assist in the development of the courseware
- Liaise with, and coordinate, administration staff regarding the preparation and development of the courseware
- Develop the assessment processes, administration and record keeping related to the Certificate IV in Mental Health and Diploma of Community Services (Alcohol and Other Drugs and Mental Health) programs according to Wodonga TAFE and AQTF quality frameworks
This role requires candidates with demonstrated skills and knowledge in instructional design, courseware development, and accredited training and assessment. You will require a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (or equivalent) and the ability to develop quality instruction, interactive activities and training material.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, as well as the ability to work independently and as part of a team, are essential qualities for this role.
You will also need a current driver's licence.
Tertiary qualifications in the areas of human services (e.g. mental health, social work or alcohol and other drugs) or instructional design will be highly regarded but are not essential.
VICSERV offers a small, dynamic and close-knit team, and is more than happy to support staff wanting to advance their career through further training and professional development.
The VICSERV offices are located in Elsternwick, just 9km from the CBD. There is plenty of public transport available in the area, and the offices are within close proximity to cafes, restaurants and a retail precinct.
