We are looking for a new School Support Assistant to join the Health and Wellbeing department at The Royal High School. The Royal High School is one of the oldest schools in Scotland, with a strong sense of history and a commitment to innovation. It is a non-denominational, 6-year comprehensive school, serving young people from four catchment primary schools: Blackhall, Clermiston, Cramond, and Davidson’s Mains.
The role of the SSA within HFTT is diverse and requires excellent planning, organisational, and administrative skills, as well as the ability to set up practical lessons with food and equipment for a busy department. The delivery of practical lessons and high-quality learning and teaching relies on accurate ordering, organised trollies for lessons, and a well-managed and hygienic food technicians’ room. Adherence to risk assessments and knowledge of good practices around food hygiene and preparation is essential.
Good communication skills and the ability to work collegiately and follow guidance help support an effective working environment. Food preparation/catering/hospitality experience is essential.
