Position Description Values and Behaviours Organisational
Position Description Position Title: Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Centre: Office of the CEO Reports To: Board Chair Values and Behaviours As a values-based organisation we demonstrate our values through our behaviours. We have identified and adopted a set of trademark behaviours which provides a framework for us to model, reward and challenge behaviour across our organisation. These behaviours guide everything we do: Take responsibility Always positive Show respect Step up and take a risk Underpinning our trademark behaviours is The Gordon Code of Conduct. This is a public statement defining how we behave and interact with clients and colleagues. Organisational Environment – The Role of the Institute The Gordon Institute of TAFE has a long and distinguished history of providing vocational education and training programs. Established in 1887 as an embryonic technical training college, it has, during the course of its history, functioned as a Technical College and an Institute of Technology, out of which were created two technical schools and Deakin University. With the creation of Deakin University in 1978, The Gordon Institute of TAFE reverted to its former name Gordon Technical College and underwent rapid growth as a College of Technical and Further Education and has now adopted the title Gordon Institute of TAFE to distinguish the organisation from secondary colleges. The Gordon is now part of the network of 12 TAFE Institutes providing a range of vocational education and training services to all Victorians. The main focus for The Gordon is the greater Geelong area, impacting broadly on the Barwon South Western region, and acting as a resource for other smaller providers.
