Working within Perth & Kinross Council is more than a job. It's about being part of an organisation that puts people at the heart of all we do and provides opportunities to make a real difference by enhancing every life we touch.
The Head Teacher will provide vision and direction in order to ensure high standards of education and leadership of learning. We are seeking someone who can lead our school community, develop learning and teaching and ensure that all pupils achieve their full potential.
You should have experience of leading aspects of improvement across a school. You should be able to talk about your leadership skills and the impact the improvement activity has had on outcomes for learners. You should have experience of leading a team. This could include leading a working group or staff team to drive improvement.
Ideally, you will also have experience in a leadership post. This could include a Middle Leader, Central Officer or Head Teacher post.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead one of our small rural schools, to support the school community to demonstrate their school.
