Teacher - Care and Education

Changing lives takes a little time and space."

As part of our Residential Care & Education Service, Erskine Waterfront Campus in Erskine provides children and young people who have faced challenges and barriers to their learning with a safe, supportive and high quality alternative to mainstream education.

Our relational approach, following attachment informed principles, provides a nurturing and caring learning environment that enables pupils to reach their potential.

We have a strong focus on experiential learning with the aim of ‘giving children back their childhood’, strengthening resilience and supporting active participation in their communities.

The abilities of our pupils range from Early Level to the Senior Phase. As many of the children who attend Erskine have experienced difficulties in school in the past, you will deliver the curriculum with a flexibility that accommodates different learning styles and focuses on the strengths of each individual. You will also promote a Therapeutic Environment and contribute to the Relational Health of the children and young people.

We welcome applications from both primary and secondary trained teachers. To apply you must be registered with the General Teaching Council for Scotland and hold a relevant teaching qualification. You must also have a full driving licence or a commitment to achieving this within an agreed timescale.

In return we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes membership of the Teachers’ Pension. What’s more we’ll make sure you have all the training and development you need, not only so you can do a great job, but to help you build your career with us too.
