We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Pupil Support Assistant to join our Support for Learning Department on a permanent basis.

About the School

Blairgowrie High School is the sole secondary school for East Perthshire, and covers a wide catchment area of beautiful landscapes.

To the West we extend almost to Dunkeld; to the North our area stretches up Glenshee past the Spittal, to the border with Aberdeenshire Council; to the East our area extends to the Angus border and finally to the South-East, Tullybaccart - the highest point on the road between Coupar Angus and Dundee - is our boundary with Dundee Council.

Our associated Primary Schools are Alyth, Burrelton, Coupar Angus, Glendelvine, Kettins, Kirkmichael, Meigle, Newhill, Rattray and St Stephen's.

We are looking for an individual who can demonstrate:

A genuine interest in the development of children and their wellbeing
Kindness, Empathy, patience and an ability to engage with children and young people.
Confidentiality in relation to children, young people and their families
Experience (paid/voluntary) of supporting children and young people with additional support needs.
