Requirements
Pre-Employment Checks/Requirements
If successful, employment is conditional on satisfactory completion of 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 also required.
Registration and PVG Scheme
Applicants for permanent posts should be registered with GTCS. The position is considered Regulated Work with Children under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act, 2007. Successful candidates must join the PVG Scheme or undergo an update check, with costs (£59 for full membership, £18 for update) deducted from salary over several pay periods.
Disclosure of Offenses
Applicants should disclose any unspent convictions under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Failure to disclose may result in withdrawal of an offer. Having a criminal record does not automatically disqualify an applicant; suitability depends on the nature of the offense.
How to Apply
If you have difficulty applying or need reasonable adjustments, email recruitment@ with the post reference number. Internal candidates may be interviewed before the wider pool due to ongoing organizational changes. Candidates who are trainees, disabled, or care-experienced young people may be eligible for a guaranteed interview if they meet the criteria.
