Currie Community High School is situated to the south west of the City of Edinburgh and serves the communities of Currie, Riccarton, Juniper Green and Baberton Mains. The school has served the local community for some 350 years. The school enjoys excellent links with the local community and as a designated community high school, a quality community programme is offered. The school's SQA results are above both local and national averages and an extensive range of wider achievement opportunities are offered. The school is firmly committed to raising attainment and promoting positive achievement, leading to a high level of positive and sustained destinations.

Our school values of Ambition, Respect, Equality underpin our positive culture and ethos; where celebrating success of our wonderful young people is at the heart of what we do. We also recognise the importance of our school as a community and we have been recently awarded the Gold LGBT Charter Mark which we are very proud of. We are also working towards Rights Respecting School status and we hold a Silver Food For Life Catering award and Green Eco Schools status. We were also awarded Scotland's Most Enterprising School in 2021. This is just a flavour of the innovative approaches which make Currie Community High School a unique, desirable and welcoming place to work.

We have very recently moved into our new school which is the first Passivhaus school in Scotland. Our vision for the new school encompasses innovative and cutting edge pedagogy with the development of 21st Century ready skills at the core of all we do. The school benefits from inspirational learning spaces and technology including high quality outdoor spaces to enable young people to become leaders of their own learning and to experience a broad, varied and bespoke curriculum.

We are seeking a Pupil Support Assistant to join our staff team on a fixed term basis until 01/04/2026.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
