We are tentatively thinking about moving to Edinburgh from London next year to be closer to my parents (dad has health issues). I'm a primary teacher and wondered if anyone knew how easy it would be to find a teaching job in Edinburgh?
I've got a Pgce and 2.1 degree from English universities (so qualify for gtcs registration) plus an MA in primary education. I've been teaching for 10 years in London in schools that have high levels of deperavation and EAL. Most recently I've been a assistant head, and I'm about to start a new part-time job as a senco.
Is not having any Scottish experience going to put me at a massive disadvantage? I'm happy to do supply for a bit to build up some experience, but I'd really be looking for something permanent asap. I did high school in Scotland and have standard grades/highers so I have some idea of the education system, but I'm obviously 15 years out of date! Do you think depute jobs would completely out of my reach at the moment?
Thanks for any information anyone can give me!
