We are looking for a committed and dynamic individual for the post of Support for Learning Teacher. You will be a skilled and enthusiastic educator, fully committed to the learning and teaching approaches of Curriculum for Excellence and to inspiring and motivating pupils.
Stromness Academy is a six-year secondary school on a well-appointed campus in Orkney, which is frequently voted the best place in the UK to bring up children. Our catchment area covers the town of Stromness and the West Mainland, a dispersed population with over two thirds of our pupils being bussed into school. The small size of our school (approximately 350 on roll), and our classes, means we know our pupils well and are able to be flexible to meet their needs. We are committed to providing a positive and purposeful environment where all our pupils achieve, as set out in our school vision. This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to become part of a forward-looking school and a rich and vibrant community.
Further information about the school and our activities can be found on our website www.stromnessacademy.org.uk and our Facebook page.
Salary is based on the Main Grade Teacher Salary Tables plus a Distant Islands Allowance. We offer a generous relocation package.
You must be registered, or in the process of registering, with the General Teaching Council for Scotland.
You should be able to travel efficiently and effectively between work locations within Orkney to meet the operational requirements of the Service.
This post is subject to Level 2 Disclosure Check with PVG for working in a regulated role with children.
