Falkirk Council is seeking to recruit highly skilled class teachers who are committed to delivering excellent learning and teaching experiences for children and young people.

The key policy document for Falkirk schools is Learning to Achieve. This document was co-created by headteachers, teachers, early years practitioners, support staff, parents/carers, pupils, and other partners.

It clearly outlines our expectations for class teachers, emphasizing that they should be practitioners who demonstrate commitment to meeting the needs of all learners by:

• Reflecting critically on their practice
• Proactively seeking professional development opportunities to enhance their skills and knowledge
• Adopting flexible and creative approaches to meet diverse learner needs
• Using current educational thinking to inform their practice
• Engaging in professional collaboration within and beyond the school
• Communicating effectively with others

Successful applicants will:

• Hold an appropriate secondary qualification
• Be fully registered with the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS)
• Demonstrate the commitment, knowledge, and skills outlined in the Standard for Full Registration

Applicants who progress to the next stage will be invited to attend a classroom observation and a short interview.

If selected, you will be required to gain and maintain PVG scheme membership.

Applicants are encouraged to clearly detail their skills, experience, and attributes relevant to this role.
