Our learning community has high aspirations for all our young people.

We are committed to offering the best possible learning experience to our learners, whoever and wherever they are.

The successful candidate may be from either the Primary or Secondary sector and will support learning in Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Wellbeing as well as transition across education establishments. The role is a fantastic opportunity to work across a learning community, further develop leadership skills, tackle the attainment gap and will in the first instance, focus on improving outcomes in literacy and numeracy for P7-S1 pupils before extending the successful model from P5-S3. A sound knowledge of current theory and practice relating to effective pedagogy is required, along with an ability to ensure that these are successfully implemented in the classroom.

Salaries will be in accordance with the Scheme of Salaries and Conditions of Service for Teaching Staff in School Education.

Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.
