Description
Qualification description
This general qualification covers the competencies that are relevant to staff members who work in the industry but who may not have statutory responsibilities. They will, in most cases, be directly supervised in their work duties. This may include staff members who have no direct responsibility for offender supervision or who have narrow, specialised roles in offender supervision, such as escort support or community liaison. The qualification may also be relevant to professional and support staff members who have qualifications in specialist occupations but require competency in essential functions necessary to authorise their operational safety in a correctional environment. This qualification may also be achieved in pre-vocational programs achieved as part of an employment selection or preparation program. One elective unit may be drawn from another Training Package to reflect the work context and career plans of the individual. |
