We are keen to employ a diverse workforce that reflects the people of Scotland. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and particularly from groups currently under-represented, including people with disabilities, those from minority ethnic communities or from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

West Lothian Council is committed to making significant changes in how we deliver our Education Services. These include providing the support and environment necessary for you to perform your role and develop your skills. Our commitment is demonstrated by the council's achievement of the Investors in People Standard and our ongoing efforts to improve service delivery.

East Calder Primary School and ELC is a non-denominational school serving the village of East Calder and the surrounding community. Although the school opened in 1935, in August 2024, we moved into a new, state-of-the-art building. The school operates within the West Calder High School cluster. Currently, the total school roll is 405 pupils, including a nursery with 98 children aged 2-4 years, offering morning, afternoon, and full-day sessions.

We are now seeking a Clerical Assistant to join our school team.

Working hours are from 8.30 am to 4.15 pm, Monday to Thursday, and 8.30 am to 1 pm on Friday.

The school management team comprises a Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, and Principal Teacher. Nursery classes are supported by Early Years Officers and Practitioners. Our staffing also includes teachers, Pupil Support Workers, and administrative and clerical staff.

The school runs a successful breakfast club and offers various after-school clubs throughout the year.

Distributed leadership is encouraged among staff, who demonstrate strong collegiality and teamwork, fostering a positive learning environment.

The school has developed strong partnerships with local community groups and businesses. We are well-regarded within the community and enjoy robust support from parents.

This position is classified as Regulated Work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scotland Act 2007. From 28 February 2011, successful candidates will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo an update check before a formal job offer is made by West Lothian Council.
