Woodlands is a Special School, which makes provision for secondary pupils with complex, long term additional support needs. The needs of learners are primarily associated with learning disability/Autism Spectrum condition. The current school roll is 80 and the maximum class size is 8. Pupils benefit from a breadth of opportunities, covering all areas within the framework of the national guidelines for the 3-18 curriculum. Each pupil has an Individualised Educational Programme, which includes priority targets drawn up in consultation with the school team, other professionals and parents. There is strong emphasis on developing the four capacities of the Curriculum for Excellence.
Pupils are offered a broad and balanced curriculum including Health and Wellbeing programmes to support in the learning of independence and social skills. The management team currently consists of Head Teacher, Depute Head Teacher, Business Manager and three Principal Teachers (including this post). Each class group is supported by a Pupil Support Assistant. The school has a Parent Council. Multidisciplinary teamwork is a central feature of the school and there is input from our Educational Psychologist, the School Doctor and Nurse and Speech and Language Therapist.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.
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.
