Requirements
Pre-Employment Checks/Requirements for Teaching Positions
If successful, employment will be conditional on satisfactory completion of requirements such as medical screening, two references (one from your current employer), verification of qualifications, and eligibility to work in the UK. Registration with the General Teaching Council Scotland (GTCS) and a PVG check for Regulated Work with Children are mandatory.
Registration and PVG Scheme
Applicants for permanent posts must be registered with GTCS. This post is considered Regulated Work with Children under the PVG Scheme. Successful candidates will need PVG Scheme membership, which involves a fee of £59 for full membership or £18 for updates, payable via salary deduction over several pay periods. The fee is refundable if employment ends before full repayment.
