Comhairle nan Eilean Siar is inviting applications from anyone who meets the entry criteria with a relevant degree and would be interested in entering a career in Teaching. The specialist subject areas that would be sponsored by the Comhairle are Secondary Technical, Chemistry, Maths and Home Economics. Further details of the support provided by the Comhairle will be provided to eligible candidates.

The PGDE requires full time study for one academic year (September – June). The course fees will be paid and financial support will be provided for the year of the studies. The model of support is based on a percentage of the Probationer teacher pay scale. Students will be guaranteed a probationer place within the authority area for the year following completion of the PGDE. An offer of permanent employment will be made on satisfactory completion of the probationary period, guaranteed minimum of 0.6FTE (3 days) up to full depending on the subject and needs of the service.

For those candidates who secure a place the financial support of the sponsorship may be secured by satisfying the eligibility for STEM Teacher Education Bursaries for Career Changers Home (teachingbursaryinscotland.co.uk). It is hoped that this scheme will run again 24/25 but we are still awaiting an announcement in this regard.

Closing Date: Monday 22 April 2024
