Saltersgate School has various teaching positions available throughout the school for which we require primary trained teachers to deliver all of the core subjects to either primary or secondary aged children/young people. Experience of early year's curriculum and/or early literacy and numeracy development would be helpful in delivering an appropriate curriculum to children who developmentally are functioning between a pre early - 1st level within Curriculum for Excellence.

Saltersgate School is situated within the Dalkeith Schools Community Campus and caters for children and young people with a wide range of additional support needs. The school is a non-denominational primary and secondary school whose catchment area extends to the whole of Midlothian. It was built 10 years ago and provides accommodation to meet both the needs of the classroom and specialist subject teachers. The school also accesses the campus facilities consisting of swimming pools, gym halls, fitness suite, assembly hall and outside sporting areas.

The school management consists of a Head Teacher, 2 Depute Head Teachers and 5 Principal Teachers, each with responsibility for a specific area of the school and one for our Inclusion and Outreach Service. In total there are 75 education staff; 30 teaching staff and 49 support staff, plus a range of health professionals including nursing, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech and language therapists.

The school has achieved two Eco Schools Green Flag awards and has a significant focus on encouraging pupil activity through the use of bikes.

Applications are invited from enthusiastic professionals who have the vision and energy to sustain and promote the current standards of achievement and ensure the continued development and progress of the school.
