Pilrig Park School is a non-denominational special school situated in the Leith area of Edinburgh. The school provides education for secondary-aged learners with complex long-term additional support needs. A strength of the school is our multi-agency approach to supporting our learners, and school staff work closely with Educational Psychologists, the Additional Support for Learning Service, the CAMHS Learning Disability Team, Allied Health Professionals and third-sector partners in order to meet the needs of all learners. Our vision is to provide safe, high-quality, holistic education ensuring equity and inclusion for all our pupils through seamless, compassionate, and dignified specialised provision.

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.

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.

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.
