Job Overview

City of Edinburgh Council

Pupil Support Officer - Wellbeing Hub

Salary: £26,000 - £30,000 (pro rata for part-time and sessional)
Hours: 30 per week, 39 weeks sessional

At the City of Edinburgh Council, we take pride in our dedication to Health & Wellbeing. We are currently in search of a compassionate and dedicated Pupil Support Officer to become a vital part of our Integrated Pupil Support Team as we develop our new Wellbeing Hub.

The Wellbeing Hub serves as a dedicated resource within the school aimed at delivering tailored support programs for a select group of S1-3 students facing various social and emotional challenges. The primary objective of our Wellbeing Hub is to ensure that students receive focused assistance that enables them to engage effectively in their learning, promotes their Health and Wellbeing, and facilitates their reintegration with peers while maintaining their participation in mainstream education, with a smooth transition to a senior phase curriculum.

This position presents an exciting opportunity to be part of a newly formed team that will play a significant role in shaping this innovative initiative. The Wellbeing Hub team comprises a Curriculum Leader, Pupil Support Officer, and a Pupil Support Assistant, all working collaboratively within our broader Integrated Support Team, overseen by our Depute Head Teacher for Pupil Support.

This role involves regulated work with children and/or protected adults as per the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act. The selected candidate will be required to enroll in the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Additionally, if an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more outside the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be necessary. The commencement of employment will be contingent upon the satisfactory outcome of these pre-employment checks.

We are committed to fostering a workplace culture where all individuals feel valued, included, and empowered to perform at their best. We recognize the advantages that a diverse workforce, with varying values, beliefs, experiences, and backgrounds, brings to our organization.

To enhance our organizational culture and create an exceptional working environment for the residents of Edinburgh, we aim to attract the most suitable candidates, not only based on their skills and experience but also their approach to work.

To support this goal, we are transitioning from a competency-based interview method to a behavioral and technical (skills for the job) assessment approach. This new interviewing technique will enable us to evaluate how candidates think and how they would embody Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity, and Flexibility in their work practices.

Further information can be found on Our Behaviours web page.
