Student Support Specialist - Enhanced Support Base or Wellbeing Hub

Salary: £23, - £23, (pro rata for part-time & sessional)
Hours: 30 per week, 39 weeks sessional

We are seeking to recruit two Student Support Specialists: one for the Enhanced Support Base dedicated to assisting young individuals with complex special needs, and the other in the Wellbeing Hub focused on supporting young people with emotional, social, and/or behavioral challenges. Please be aware that the role in the Enhanced Support Base will involve elements of personal care. Both specialists will collaborate within established and experienced teams, receiving ample support in terms of training and professional development. If you prefer your application to be considered solely for the Enhanced Support Base role or the Wellbeing Hub role, kindly indicate this in your application.

Our institution is committed to fostering strong connections with the local community and offers a high-quality community program as a designated community high school.

We take pride in our academic achievements, with SQA results exceeding local and national averages, alongside a wide array of opportunities for broader accomplishments. Our commitment to enhancing attainment and promoting positive outcomes leads to a high level of successful and sustained destinations for our students. We welcome applications from candidates who are dedicated to excellence and who foster warm, respectful relationships with learners, their families, and the wider community.

Our core values of Confidence, Unity, Respect, Responsibility, Initiative, and Equality form the foundation of our positive culture and ethos, where celebrating the successes of our remarkable young people is central to our mission. We also value our role within the community and have been awarded the Silver LGBT Charter Mark, with ongoing efforts towards achieving Gold status. Additionally, we are working towards Rights Respecting School status and hold a Silver Food For Life Catering award. These initiatives reflect the innovative approaches that make our institution a unique and welcoming place to work.

This position involves regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act. The successful candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. For individuals who have 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. This check must be provided. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the role will be contingent upon the satisfactory outcome of both pre-employment checks.

We are dedicated to cultivating 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.

As part of our initiative to enhance our organizational culture and create an exceptional workplace for the people of Edinburgh, we aim to attract the best candidates not only based on their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

Qualifications

To support this goal, we are transitioning our interview and assessment process from a competency-based approach to one that emphasizes behavioral and technical skills relevant to the position. This new interviewing method will allow us to evaluate how candidates think and how they embody our core behaviors of Respect, Integrity, and Flexibility in their work practices.
