At Tulloch Primary school our core values are Courage and Compassion. Are you passionate about helping children thrive in a nurturing, inclusive school environment?

Do you want to make a difference in the lives of young learners every single day?

If so, then we want to hear from you

As a Pupil Support Assistant you will play a vital role in supporting the wellbeing, learning and development of our pupils.

Working closely with class teachers and support staff, you will help create a positive and engaging environment where every child feels safe, included and encouraged to reach their potential.

Perth & Kinross Council has introduced a Job Family Framework for all single status posts. A Job Family is a group of jobs with similar characteristics and common features. Pupil Support Assistants are part of the Care and Learning Job Family and the role profile which is attached, details the typical behaviours, skills and experience required.

We are looking for individuals who can demonstrate:

- A genuine interest in the development of children and their wellbeing.
- Kindness, empathy and patience.
- An ability to engage with children and young people.
- Confidentiality in relation to children, young people and their families.
- Experience working with children or young people.

**Skills & Experience Required**:
As a Pupil Support Assistant (PSA), you will work as part of our team supporting children and young people who have additional support needs to access learning under the direction of other members of the team.

Children and Young People can have a range of needs that are short lived or more long term. These, at different points in their education, may require additional support. The PSA role is varied and may include supporting children and young people who present with needs which may include:

- Social and Emotional
- Learning
- Communication
- Physical
- Personal Care

Some children may present with distressed and challenging behaviour as a result of these needs. The PSA may have a role in supporting positive behaviour management programmes and individual support plans.

Experience working with children or in a school setting is desirable but not essential.

Tulloch PS is looking for an enthusiastic, empathetic individual who has a genuine desire to care for and support children.

We need a team player who is flexible and reliable and willing to learn.

It is important to demonstrate a commitment to upholding the school's values of Courage and Compassion and contributing to a positive school culture.
