Recruitment - Summer School Scotland
The International Summer School of Scotland prides itself on employing highly-qualified and motivated staff in all departments. All our staff must possess an enthusiasm for working with young people and will be dedicated to providing a safe, secure, caring and nurturing environment for all our students as well as ensuring that they have the best summer experience possible in Scotland.
All applicants will be interviewed and profiled and all teachers/leaders will go through Disclosure Scotland to prove they have no criminal record of any kind. In additional all staff are required to go through The International Summer School of Scotland training.
Summer School counsellor/leader
Our leaders are those responsible for the pastoral care of our students. Each leader will be responsible for a group of students at all times and will act as a role-model and point-of-contact during the three weeks. A leader takes on many roles: friend, sister, brother, mother, father, teacher and leader all rolled into one. In addition leaders will be involved in putting together evening programs and activities for students when they are not in class or on a cultural tour.
All our leaders go through a staff orientation where they will be trained in the way the summer school runs and our philosophy. All our leaders must be enthusiastic, energetic and be able to connect with 14-18 year olds and most of all have a good sense of fun. If you are interested in being a leader this summer please email us and attach your CV, please also let us know what your interests are.
Academic head staff
All academic programs are run by a head member of staff who is highly-qualified in their specific field. Head staff are responsible for the additional teachers who will work in their department and must be able to motivate as well as enthuse staff on their chosen subject.
The International Summer School of Scotland is dedicated to encouraging their students no matter what their ability and in finding each of our students strengths and helping them reach their full potential. If you are passionate in the field of leadership, English language, creative writing, debate or International Baccalaureate and you would like to contribute to our summer school and work with some exceptional young students from around the world, please email us with your CV.
Elective head staff
All elective programs are run by leading professional in their field. We look for professional who have had experience teaching their chosen field before and who have the ability to impart not only their enthusiasm but their knowledge to our students. If you are interested in working with us this summer in the fields of tennis, theatre, film or golf please email us, attaching your CV.
Workshops

These workshops are taught by leaders in their specific field and have been done on a range of topics.
