We are Hiring! For supply teachers.

Regius is an independent Christian school serving around 35 primary‑aged children, located near Edinburgh’s Newcraighall station. Established in 1986, the school’s vision is to provide “Christian Education to Transform a Generation.” With small class sizes, pupils are able to learn at a pace that suits them, and their unique gifts and abilities are recognised, nurtured, and developed within a caring and inspiring environment.

Our close‑knit team of professional Christian educators work collaboratively to ensure every child is supported educationally, physically, and spiritually. Alongside a strong commitment to academic excellence, Regius places high value on worship, prayer, and a culture of honour that underpins all aspects of school life.

We are seeking enthusiastic supply teachers to join our Christian school community. This role supports classes on an as‑needed basis, ensuring continuity of learning when permanent staff are absent.
