An exciting opportunity has arisen for a School Support Assistant to join the team at Clermiston Primary school.

Clermiston Primary School is a non-denominational school in the west of Edinburgh located just off Queensferry Road. The school has a large and diverse catchment and our roll presently stands at 450 children arranged in 16 classes plus 40 children accessing 1140 hours in our nursery.

We pride ourselves on having a warm and welcoming ethos throughout the school and we work hard to build positive relationships with all members of our school community.

The preferred candidate will have experience of working in a school environment. This role requires someone with a variety of skills including but not limited to:

A welcoming and positive attitude
Experience of customer facing reception duties
Experience of working with children
First Aid

For further information about the school, please visit our website: http://www.clermiston.edin.sch.uk/

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours – The City of Edinburgh Council

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
