We are looking for conscientious, committed candidates with excellent inter-personal and communication skills. It is essential that candidates have a flexible mindset and the ability to use their own initiative. This active role also includes elements of personal care which require patience and a caring, practical nature. The successful candidate will need the ability to stay calm under pressure and be solution focused.

As working as part of a team, there will be many training opportunities to support you in working with our children and young people. Previous experience of working in a school would be desirable.

Note: Sessional staff are paid for the total number of weeks they work each year (39) plus the number of weeks' leave they are entitled to, which depends on length of service. PSAs do not work during the 12 weeks of school holidays; however, total salary is paid in 12 equal monthly payments over the year. There are also opportunities to work in a holiday hub provision during the school holidays for successful candidates looking to work during the school holidays.

Please note that these posts are subject to review and also have a mobility clause meaning there is a chance successful candidates could be moved to a different school in the future.

This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.

As part of our goal to improve organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure we're recruiting the best people. We're interested not only in your skills and experience but also in your approach to work. Therefore, part of our interview process will be an assessment of how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
