East Lothian Council seeks to appoint a caring, committed and creative teacher of Music at Rosehill High School, on the Wallyford Learning Campus. Our school opened in August 2023 and is Scotland\'s newest secondary school. Our S1-S3 school roll currently sits at just over 330 and includes 14 young people in our severe and complex needs provision, The Brae. Extensive new housing in the area means that our population will continue to expand rapidly, and we look forward to starting our senior phase from August 2024.

Our campus is far more than a school, consisting of community sports and leisure facilities, the public library, adult health and social care, and an area run through our partnership with Edinburgh College. All of our learning spaces are digitally enabled and include specialist areas such as our performing arts facilities, hospitality kitchens and science super lab.

This post is within our Expressive Arts Faculty. Members of this faculty contribute to supporting our interdisciplinary approach, so we are particularly keen to hear from candidates with an interest in or experience of project based learning.

Our school vision is Rosehill: a place to learn, grow and thrive.

Our school values are respect, kindness and responsibility.

We expect all of our classrooms teachers to be able to:

  • Demonstrate the highest standards of learning, teaching and assessment
  • Contribute meaningfully to ongoing curriculum development
  • Support the wellbeing and inclusion of all young people
  • Build and maintain positive relationships with everyone in our school community
  • Lead within and beyond their classrooms
