Drumduan School is looking for a new member or members of staff to hold this key role at the heart of the School‘s Kindergarten.
Drumduan is a modern and progressive Steiner School located in the beautiful North-East of Scotland overlooking Findhorn Bay and the Moray Firth. With an emphasis on experiential education, nature connection, and the creativity that flows from children being given the space to develop in a low technology school environment. The School currently has 105 students from Kindergarten to Class 12 in the Upper School and 38 teaching and non-teaching staff.
Our School operates with a collective decision-making structure, the Core Group of staff, at its centre.
The experience of the child in kindergarten during the years when they are most open to the world around them lays the foundation for healthy development and a sound education throughout the subsequent years. The kindergarten years are regarded as the basis upon which Steiner education is built. The Kindergarten Assistant should be a role model worthy of imitation by the children in their care.
The Kindergarten Assistant will work alongside other Kindergarten Assistants and Kindergarten Teachers in their work to help maintain a healthy, tidy and harmonious working environment and atmosphere.
Please ensure you read the attached job description for further details.
Drumduan School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expects all staff and volunteers to understand and share this commitment. We have a shared commitment to develop a culture of respect, where discrimination is not tolerated. We welcome all applications, including those from under-represented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion.
