This post is to work specifically with children with visual impairments. As such, the successful candidate will be expected to undertake the Contracted Braille course, fully funded by the City of Edinburgh Council.

The Additional Support for Learning service is a peripatetic service and applicants must be willing to work anywhere in the city; however, this post is linked with pupils who will be attending Portobello High School and Tynecastle High School full time.
