Edinburgh, United Kingdom Midlothian Council Full time

Job Vacancy

King’s Park Primary School is a non-denominational school that was built in and serves the Dalkeith community. The school is built next to King’s Park and the children have access to this for leisure and to enrich their learning opportunities. The school has a roll of children from P1- P7 and offers 94 full time ELC places. The roll is very diverse and includes pupils from all 10 SIMD data zones and this range is also reflected in each year group.

Our school consists of two buildings within the grounds. Our Lower building comprises of ELC-P4 learners, a combined library/ICT suite, a Support for Learning base and a dining hall. Our Upper building comprises of P4-7 learners, our School Office, a gym hall and Nurture Room. We have separate playground areas for P1&2, P3&4 and P5-7, P5-7 classes also have access to King’s Park to enrich learning.

Our school is part of the Dalkeith Learning Community and most of our P7 learners transition to Dalkeith High School with some moving on to Lasswade and Newbattle High School. We are strengthening our links with Dalkeith High school and have good links with the other primary schools in our learning community. We have a number of children transitioning into P1 from a range of Partner Providers as well as our own ELC.

We have continued to focus upon developing effective partnerships with parents, carers and the wider community. We recognise the important role that parents and carers play in their child’s learning and development and we offer a range of opportunities for parents and carers to share in their child’s learning.

The post of Office Support Assistant involves working within a small team in our very busy school office. The role involves answering calls, helping customers at reception, filing, and supporting our children and families.

We are looking for a motivated enthusiastic person, who can work well within a team as well as working independently.

grades level 3 passes or above to include Mathematics and English or equivalent is essential.

(SVQ 2 or equivalent is an acceptable alternative). Some practical experience or

demonstration of competency in the use of word processing and standard PC software

packages is also essential.

Demonstrable competency in keyboard and clerical skills are also required; SVQ 2 or
