An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the team at Kinloch Rannoch Primary School.

We are looking for someone to fill two roles, 15 hours as a Primary School Support Worker and 14 hours as a Primary School Support Assistant. We are looking for a highly motivated, enthusiastic and energetic individual to fill the 29 hours that these two varied roles provide.

The role of Primary School Support Worker will involve supporting pupils and teachers to access and deliver high quality education. The main responsibilities of this post involve providing high quality support and learning experiences to learners with a range of needs.

The main responsibilities of the Primary School Support Assistant involve; providing a high quality, innovative administration service, supervision of learners during break and lunch times and taking responsibility for maintaining and processing financial policies and procedures.

The combination of these roles will create opportunities for the successful candidate to contribute meaningfully to our learners' experiences, impacting positively on the pupils and their families.

As these roles are set at different pay grades, there will be separate contracts in place for them both.

These posts are not suitable for sponsorship.

The Individual

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate flexibility in approaches to support the staff team and our families.

You will be hard working, well organised, flexible, caring and committed to improving the life of the school and the people who work in it.

You will work well as part of a team and also be able to take initiative and manage yourself, and your work, efficiently and effectively.

You will promote high standards and maintain positive partnerships.

Due to the nature of these roles a knowledge of different software packages, especially the Microsoft Office Suite is essential.

The successful candidate will join a dedicated team who are committed to providing an excellent education for all young people.
