Pupil Support Assistant

£26.81k per annum

We are seeking to recruit a Pupil Support Assistant at Echline Primary School on a Fixed Term contract until April 2027 working 20 hours per week working over 4 days. Days and times to be agreed, however, we would need the preferred candidate to work a Monday and a Friday as part of this week.

We currently have a pupil support team working throughout the school to support learning, teaching and inclusion and we are looking for another committed, passionate and inspiring member to join our team.

This Pupil Support Assistant post involves working with children who require 121 support within the school. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping pupils to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally within the school environment. Experience of working 121 with children is desirable.

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.

Find out more about our commitment to equalities

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.

You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours – The City of Edinburgh Council

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

Happy to talk flexible working.
