Pupil Support Officer – Attendance and Family Engagement
Craigmount High School

Salary: £26, - £30, (pro-rata for part time and sessional)
Hours: 30 per week, 39 weeks sessional

Are you kind, caring and passionate about supporting children and young people and their families? Do children, young people and families respond well to your support? Do you have the skills and values to support young people and their families to engage with school and to thrive?

Craigmount High School is recruiting a Pupil Support Officer (PSO) to support young people with their engagement with school and to support / build relationships with their families. We hope to appoint a PSO who will help us to bridge the gap between school and home.

Experienced PSAs or those who can demonstrate experience of working with children and their families, are encouraged to apply.

The post will involve building relationships of trust with children and their families and may involve support in family homes. The PSO will be part of the Pupil Support Team and our external agencies support, including our Educational Welfare Officer.

This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act . The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

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.
