We will also consider "Unqualified Teachers" with significant pastoral experience. * Resilience: The ability to stay cool under pressure and handle the "highs and lows" of a secondary school day. Why Join the Preston Education Team? * Paid to Scale: We match your daily rate to your experience, with rates starting at £102.83+ per day. * Temp-to-Perm Pathway: Many of our Preston partner schools use this long-term role as a "trial" for a permanent pastoral contract. * Preston-Centric: Avoid the commute; we have roles in schools across PR1, PR2, and PR4 postcodes. * CPD Access: Free training in Team-Teach, Safeguarding Level 2, and Mental Health First Aid.

Vacancy Information Days of Work: Monday - Friday To start 10th August 2026. \n Applications are welcome from current probationers pending attainment of full registration with the GTCS. \n Applications will be accepted from those wishing to be considered for this role on a part-time basis. If you are applying for this role on a part time basis, please tell us in the Additional Information section of the application form. \n Preston Lodge High School is a non-denominational secondary school serving the communities of Cockenzie, Port Seton, Longniddry and Prestonpans. Our roll is currently 1062, and the school is very easily commutable from Edinburgh. \n In our recent inspection, the strong relationships between staff and students, our calm learning culture and the pride students have in their school were all highlighted. However, a number of important improvement needs were identified, too, and we are now working hard to address them. We are finalising and implementing new school improvement priorities, we are reviewing our approach to meeting the learning needs of all students, and we are addressing attainment in S3, and in national qualifications, to make existing improvements more significant and consistent. \n Our motivated staff, along with our students, parents, carers, and the community we serve, are working hard to further improve all aspects of our school, and staff love working at Preston Lodge. We are a happy school, and new staff report very positively on our school’s culture and ethos. At a time of great uncertainty in education, we work together to provide the best education possible for all of our students. \n Our work is focused on continuously improving our approach to classroom practice, developing student and staff learning, improving our curriculum offer and improving attainment with a keen focus on our equity gap. Although we have very strong Positive Destinations data, we are working hard to further diversify our Senior Phase, to better meet the needs of all students. \n We are increasingly exploring alternative awards for young people. For example, we are a big user of the Open University's Young Applicants in Scottish Schools scheme and have an increasing number of students participating in Youth Achievement Awards - all S3 students now undertake the Bronze Award of this scheme. We have recently introduced four one-year in-school Foundation Apprenticeships into our Senior Phase, and we have introduced Home Rooms into our S1 Curriculum. RAAC-related building disruption forced us to completely rethink our S1 curriculum. \n Our vibrant, friendly and inclusive Numeracy team are key players in the development of learning at Preston Lodge High School. In recent years the team have been central to curricular developments at the school, and as a result a number of new courses have been introduced to ensure the academic needs of all of our students are being met. Attainment is very strong and our team always strives to help students achieve. This has led to very positive relationships with students, and many report that Numeracy is a safe, supportive place to learn. We are now looking to recruit an innovative teacher to allow us to further develop the Maths contribution to Preston Lodge High School. \n This is an exciting time for Preston Lodge High School, and the community it serves.
