- Manage and provide the delivery of a wide range of administrative, clerical, secretarial and general office support services.
Sciennes Primary School is one of the largest primary schools in Scotland, with over 600 pupils. The school enjoys extensive links with the cluster schools and the local, wider community. The Senior Leadership Team includes a Head Teacher, 3 Deputy Head Teachers, Principal Teacher and Business Manager.
We enjoy a successful partnership with our Parent Council which is open to all parents. The corridors and the classrooms offer a bright, attractive environment for our pupils.
In addition to a full complement of classrooms, the school is well provided with rooms for other specialist purposes including a swimming pool. There are currently separate rooms for music, science, support services such as Support for Learning and English as an Additional Language, a hall which is used for Physical Education and Assemblies, and a library.

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