Kettins and Meigle Primary Schools

Kettins and Meigle Primary Schools are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic School Support Worker to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people.

The job family role profile is attached. The role may focus on some aspects more than others at different times of the year, but there would be an expectation of flexibility based on the needs of the school.

Kettins and Meigle are two small, thriving rural schools in the heart of Strathmore, each with a strong identity, inclusive ethos and close community links. As a shared headship, the schools work collaboratively to provide rich learning experiences, wider friendships and strong partnerships with families.
