We are looking to recruit teachers to join our dedicated staff who will be ambitious for all our pupils and are committed to supporting our young people to develop to their fullest potential.

The work of the school is supported by an active Parent Council and Parent Teacher Association. Art is very successful at Firrhill with large numbers of pupils studying the subject through to Advanced Higher level and progressing to art-related further and higher education courses. Additionally, both Fashion & Textiles and Photography are popular and successful courses. We are looking for a dynamic and innovative teacher to join this highly successful team and to continue this track record of success and build upon it further.
