Our Warrender Park Road campus comprises of a main teaching block (Malala Building), a state-of-the-art sports complex (Eric Liddell Sports Building) and an impressive music and drama suite including studio and theatre (Muriel Spark Building) with further teaching accommodation in our grade 1 listed building, Brunstfield House. We also have a newly refurbished annexe (Darroch) at Gillespie Street. Staff will regularly travel between the two sites.

We are looking to recruit an ICT Technician for 30 hours per week. This is a permanent position. Work pattern to be confirmed.
