The Support Work in Schools VQ is designed to meet many support staff roles including Mid Day Supervisors, Site Staff, Learning Support, Special Educational Needs, School Administrators, Library Assistants, Data Managers, Technicians, IT Support and Learning Resources.

“We will put teaching on the same professional footing as doctors and lawyers, introduce an entitlement to continuous professional development and reduce workload so teachers can get on and teach.
