SA lab techs- what is your SSO level?
Posted: 20 Aug 2015, 20:23
Hi labbies
I'm a new DECD lab tech hired as an SSO 1 - lab assistant.
I was trained at different sites under experienced lab managers who occupied SSO 2 and 3 positions.
Looking over the DECD job notifications I haven't come across any other lab tech positions at SSO 1- they're all 2's and 3's.
I'm the only lab tech on the site but it's a small school (~400 students)
I have a science degree and 5 months lab tech experience.
Are there other SSO 1's out there? Are you the majority?
I ask because I've been given the task of bringing this site's lab more into line with what I've seen on the other sites (WHS and other). Trouble is, the teachers stonewall and pull rank on me in order to keep things the same. I have to run to the business manager to get anything actioned.
The Lab Managers (note the title difference) that I trained under had more authority to make changes within the lab space. I'm the only lab tech here and have virtually the same responsibilities, just without the authority.
