The City of Edinburgh Council invites applications from candidates for a Pupil Support Assistant post.
Redhall is a school for children of primary school age with complex long-term Additional Support Needs primarily associated with learning disability. Many of the pupils have an Autistic Spectrum Condition. More information about our school is available on our website: redhallschool.com.
We are looking for conscientious, committed candidates with excellent inter-personal and communication skills. You will be working as part of a team, and there will be many training opportunities to support you in working with our children and young people.
Previous experience of working in a school is desirable.
Please note that these posts have a mobility clause, meaning successful candidates could be moved to a different school in the future.
* Note - Please read the sessional working information attached to this advert. This explains how salaries are calculated for sessional (term time) and part-time posts.
This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out of the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. 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.
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 ensure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.
To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity, and Flexibility into your ways of working.
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.
Happy to talk flexible working.
