Job Description

We are currently seeking to recruit a kind, caring and passionate Pupil Support Officer to join our team.
Broughton High school is a large Secondary school located to the north of the city centre. Due to our very diverse student cohort, we have been described as 'possibly the most comprehensive school in Western Europe.' Our school building is a superb example of modern architecture: its appearance inspires those who learn and work here, and it operates very effectively as a learning environment. We boast state-of-the-art facilities to enhance learning throughout the curriculum and are pleased that these facilities are used extensively by the local community outside school hours.
Broughton fully integrates three specialist provisions into the life and work of the school. The Edinburgh Music School, the SFA Elite Performance School and the Specialist Dance Unit contribute significantly to the status of Broughton as a centre of excellence.
We are a growing and improving school. Our school roll is accelerating as fast as any in Edinburgh due to our enhanced reputation. Our attainment levels in many key measures are the best since records began in 2001. More of our students move on to positive destinations than ever before. Learning, ethos, partnership working, and staff commitment are all at high levels and our pupils enjoy learning here and are proud to be part of the school.
The focus of this post will be:

• Monitoring whole school attendance
• Home liaison for designated houses
• Minuting meetings in line with GIRFEC policies and procedures
• Maintaining accurate records for students.
• Supporting Pupil Support Leaders to ensure pupil needs at met.

This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. 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.
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.
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.
You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page
Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
Happy to talk flexible working.
