Supply Teacher in Prep and Junior School

Dollar Academy seeks to appoint suitably qualified and experienced Supply Teachers to provide temporary cover throughout the academic year for classes within our Prep and Junior Schools.

The Prep and Junior Schools, with around 350 pupils, play a key role in providing an outstanding educational experience.

The Prep School consists of ten classes (two parallel groups from P1 to P5), while the Junior School is housed in its own dedicated building, comprising seven classes.

Junior 1 and Junior 2 (P6 and P7) are important entry stages that prepare pupils for a seamless transition to our Senior School.

This approach is part of our commitment to offering curricular continuity from age 5 through to 18, benefiting learners with consistent academic progression.

Younger pupils at Dollar receive a strong foundation in core subjects, complemented by specialist lessons in Art, Music, PE, Home Economics, and Technology delivered by Senior School staff. From Prep 1, pupils begin interacting with Senior School teachers, ensuring that by the time they finish Junior 2, they are well-prepared for the academic challenges of Senior School, familiar with senior learning environments, and already acquainted with several Senior School teachers.

Our curriculum introduces Science, Technology, and Modern Languages (French, German, and Spanish) from Prep 5 and Computing Science and Enterprise from Junior 1, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. We combine traditional values with innovative teaching strategies, aligning with the Curriculum for Excellence. We are passionate about fostering a love of learning and in turn, developing the whole child. Every child's well-being is at the heart of all that we do in the Prep and Junior School.

The Dollar Academy values of Work Hard, Get Involved and Be Kind are intertwined in all that we do as we aim to inspire our pupils to be confident, compassionate and engaged citizens who are prepared to have a positive impact on the world around them.

All teaching appointments are subject to receipt of a satisfactory PVG membership certificate from Disclosure Scotland.

We invite applications from passionate and qualified teachers interested in contributing to our vibrant learning environment. Please complete the Application Form by 23 October 2026, however we do reserve the right to close this advert early if suitable candidates have been identified.

Dollar Academy has been a co-educational day and boarding school since its foundation in 1818. Today, it provides an exceptional all-round education to around 1,300 pupils aged 5-18. Our focus is on encouraging the individual talents and ambitions of every young person, in a positive and supportive environment that fosters the development of transferable skills, self-confidence and strong personal values. A belief in developing the whole person is central to the Dollar ethos.

We have been named as the Sunday Times Scottish Independent School of the Year 2024, and as Top Private School in Europe 2025 by Education Insider.

The Academy is very much at the heart of the town – it is a major local employer and values highly its relationship with the wider community. The school itself is a friendly, supportive, hardworking and committed community of staff and pupils who enjoy cordial, professional and productive working relationships.

The school’s location is undoubtedly one of the most scenic in the country, set against the Ochil Hills and the historic Castle Campbell, but within easy reach of the major towns of the Central Belt and just 40 minutes from Edinburgh Airport. The Dollar community is welcoming and vibrant. The whole school sits within a single, stunning 70-acre campus.
