The campus is a hub of opportunities for the local community, utilising state of art sports and cultural facilities, offering a wide range of services for all ages.

St John’s RC Academy’s success is built on respectful relationships, strong partnership working, a culture of self-evaluation for improvement and effective leadership at all levels. The school offers a wide range of excellent learning experiences for children and young people and achievement is significantly improving across the school year-on-year.

An opportunity has arisen for a Class Teacher, with experience of working in the Early Years, to job-share within our nursery setting, leading a team of Early Childhood Practitioners and Play Assistants.
Working pattern would be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

Please note, should you be invited to attend interview, you will be asked to provide 2 references, one of which must be your current or most recent line manager. If you are already employed as a teacher with Perth & Kinross Council, you are only required to provide 1 reference, which must be from your current line manager.

As Perth & Kinross Council operate an open reference policy, the onus will be on you to provide us with your references.

It is also important to include the reference number of the post on the pro-forma. The references should then be presented to the chair of the interview panel when you attend.

Please APPLY ONLINE. Facilities are available at all public libraries in Perth and Kinross. If you have a disability and require reasonable adjustments, please call 01738 475555 to discuss.
