Employing 2,790 full-time equivalent teachers and 1,483 full-time equivalent non-teaching staff in schools, our Education & Recreation service is responsible for all aspects of pre-school and school provision, and for the delivery of lifelong learning and recreation across Aberdeenshire. (That’s 2,500 square miles of glorious playgrounds, covering mountains and sea, in which our employees can thrive and enjoy flourishing careers.)

We welcome applications from suitably qualified Primary and Secondary teachers from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. There are convenient airlinks from Ireland to Aberdeen Airport with low cost airlines and we offer a generous relocation package of up to £5,400 (where appropriate)
