The school currently consists of two Primary 1 classes, two Primary 2 classes, two Primary 3 classes and an Early Learning and Childcare facility. Within the school, there are nurturing, creative and well-resourced learning environments where learners are supported and encouraged to discover a love of learning.
We are seeking to appoint an Early Years Assistant with a passion for working with young children. Candidates who are passionate about play-based learning, wellbeing, inclusive practice and can demonstrate a commitment to nurturing approaches are invited to apply for this post. Applicants should be able to demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills and model high standards of pedagogy to inspire, motivate and support colleagues.
This post represents an excellent opportunity to be working as part of our innovative and creative learning environment where our learners are empowered to discover and build on their interests, share ideas and be motivated to learn.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.
We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
