We are seeking three full-time, permanent Pupil Support Leaders to join our busy Pupil Support team at Queensferry High School.

Pupil Support Leaders will be part of a Management and Leadership team of Queensferry Community High School working to ensure high quality pupil support with the ultimate aim of maximising attainment and support for all students.  They will work as the Pupil Support Leader with a specific remit to take a joint lead role in managing the Pupil Support Department with other Pupil Support Leaders. The three successful candidates will take responsibility for a year group caseload, working from our S1, S2, S3 and S5 cohorts.

This is a six-year comprehensive school in the North West Locality of the City of Edinburgh Council. The catchment area of the school covers Queensferry, Dalmeny, Echline and Kirkliston Primary Schools, as well as St Margaret’s RC Primary School at parent/carer request. A few years ago we moved into our brand new school with excellent new resources and commanding views of the Forth Estuary (including the three bridges). The school roll is over 1,200 and rising.

We have a strong ethos at Queensferry High School and are proud to create an atmosphere and learning environment which prepares young people with the knowledge and skills for a successful adult life. The school is firmly committed to raising attainment, promoting achievement and providing successful outcomes for all our young people. Fuller information on the post is on the attached job remit (viewable when clicking on the apply link).

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
