Teaching roles

Before employment can begin, you must be registered with the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).

Disclosure Scotland and Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme

For roles involving regulated work, you may be required to complete a Disclosure check or join the PVG Scheme before we can make a formal offer of employment.
