We have a strong focus on experiential learning with the aim of giving children back their childhood, strengthening resilience and supporting active participation in their communities.

The abilities of our pupils range from Early Level to the Senior Phase.

You will also assist with the preparation, organisation and use of resources.

To apply you will either have or be able to attain a minimum qualification at SCQF Level 7 in an aspect of accreditation which adds capacity to our Curriculum and the eight curricular areas within it.

For the children here, that means being treated with respect, whatever the circumstances. For professionals like you, it means being part of an environment where you can contribute ideas, have your needs recognised and achieve your ambitions. Because as you support the childrens future, well look after yours, with ongoing training and support for achieving additional qualifications. You'll also receive a range of benefits, including company pension, health cash plan, paid holiday and access to a range of leisure and retail discounts.
