Craigroyston Primary School is seeking an enthusiastic teacher to join our teaching team. We welcome applications from those who will work to ensure learners at Craigroyston Primary develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to demonstrate four key capacities - to be successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.

Our school benefits from a diverse staff team with a range of experiences and interests. We have a large pupil support team consisting of PSA, EYP and PSO practitioners, a vibrant ELC and 13 classes. The school has an experienced DHT and welcomed a new HT in May 2022. We are proud of our diverse and vibrant community. Our school values 'respect, empathy, resilience and ambition' underpin our daily ambitions and long term intentions and we view digital as an important part of educating the 21st century learner.

Salaries will be in accordance with the Scheme of Salaries and Conditions of Service for Teaching Staff in School Education.

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.
