Progression through PP1 to PP4 will be dependent upon successful completion of theoretical and practical assessments linked to relevant training. Employees who progress to paypoint 4 must demonstrate highly developed skills and knowledge, beyond those expected for lower paypoints in this level. Progression within this level will see a number of changes in the way in which the employee carries out their responsibilities - demonstrated proficiency in application of advanced techniques; demonstrated ability to effectively assign work to, and check the work of other employees, as well as carrying out staff training; and evidence of capacity to effectively co-ordinate activities. In addition, progression will be dependent upon: continuing completion of relevant training elements; ongoing Performance Planning and Review; competent delivery of operational skill requirements; achievement of necessary accreditation; satisfactory achievement levels for formal examinations; and demonstrated supervision capabilities. All employees in Level 2 will be required to continue skills and knowledge maintenance, assessment and appraisal. Similarly, regardless of length of service at the level when any new skills or knowledge are introduced, every employee will be required to undertake training and demonstrate the appropriate understanding required. S1.3 Rural stream S1.3.1 Rural Fire Management Officer - Level 1 (RFMO1) (a) Work level description Employees at this level are involved in the delivery of volunteer support activities. Work routines, methods and procedures are clearly established and there is limited scope for deviation. It would be expected that the range of activities undertaken will be increasingly amended to provide diverse skills sets. Employees at this level would be expected to travel throughout the district to ensure training and operational requirements of volunteers are met. Training, both on and off the job, is often a dominant feature of this level. Employees at this level will usually be required to undertake flexible work arrangements. (b) Level of supervision Work may initially be performed under close supervision by a more experienced officer, however, this supervision is expected to reduce as experience increases. Employees at this level may operate individually or as a member of a team within a work group. (c) Characteristics of the level
