Relief Bank for Teachers (Primary and Secondary)

Advertisement Details

Applications are invited to join our relief bank to provide teaching support in schools across Shetland. Members of the relief bank will be contacted on an ‘as and when required’ basis to provide cover, for example due to staff absence. All applicants must be resident in Shetland before being cleared to work on the supply list as although we will aim to give as much notice as possible, you may be asked to work at short notice.

Rate of Pay: £21.25 to £31.15 per hour inclusive of Distant Islands Allowance

Applications will be assessed against the criteria in the Person Specification for Teachers (copy attached to the advert). Suitable applicants will be invited to interview and recruitment checks such as references, PVG Scheme membership, General Teaching Council for Scotland Registration, verification of qualifications and proof of eligibility to work in the UK will be carried out before applicants are placed on the relief bank.

If you apply online we will contact you by e-mail so please check for messages regularly.
