Linlithgow Academy is a six-year comprehensive school offering students in the Linlithgow Area a progressive, relevant, challenging and enjoyable curriculum with opportunities for personalisation and choice. We strive to ensure that students have the highest quality learning experiences.
We offer the full range of National Qualifications found in a modern Scottish secondary school. We aim to provide experiences that result in a creative and enterprising attitude in our students, to develop young people with a sense of pride and ambition to contribute positively to the local, national and international community.
Linlithgow Academy offers the opportunity for all students to succeed. The excellent facilities available, allied to commitment of our staff, allow us to offer all our students the highest possible standard of education in a safe, caring and stimulating environment - an environment in which all members of the school community are valued and their achievements recognised.
Linlithgow Academy recognises that the curriculum is not only ‘what’ students learn but also ‘how’ they learn. We place an emphasis on the student experience and seek flexibility to ensure that students achieve success in examinations and through personal achievement pathways.
The school has 100 teaching staff and departments are organised under the direction of a Principal Teacher Curriculum responsible for each Curricular Area.
You would work in partnership with all stakeholders within Linlithgow Academy to ensure a high quality student experience that reflects curricular design principles and student entitlements with the ultimate aim of maximised achievement and attainment for all. Our mission statement “Together we Thrive”, underpins our collaborative approach to improvement where every voice is important and valued. The school values – kindness, curiosity, perseverance and fairness - underpin all decision making in the daily life of the school.
We are looking for a Health & Food Technology Auxiliary. You would work closely with the department to ensure a high level of support. Good IT skills are essential, and a Food Hygiene certificate is desirable. On occasion, the successful candidate may be required to assist in other departments.
We are keen to employ a diverse workforce that reflects the people of Scotland. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and particularly from groups currently under-presented, including people with disabilities, those from minority ethic communities or from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.
