Teacher of Technical Education
At Turriff Academy we recognise that in order to recruit and retain high quality Teachers it is necessary to have a competitive relocation and resettlement scheme. The purpose of the scheme is to compensate employees for reasonable expenses directly incurred as a result of a change in primary residence. The change must be wholly or mainly to bring their residence within a reasonable daily travelling distance. Under the terms of this procedure relocation expenses of up to £8,000 (including VAT) will be reimbursed.
Why Turriff?
Turriff is a smaller town at the heart of rural Aberdeenshire. There is a good range of local shops in the town centre with a few supermarkets, which should mean you always find what you are looking for. There are plenty of coffee shops for a ‘fine piece and a fly cup’ and a few restaurants if you are looking for a treat.
When the days are bright you have Delgatie Castle on the doorstep and Fyvie Castle close by, with many more historic buildings in easy travelling distance. It is also a great location for activities such as fishing, cycling and walking – so there is plenty opportunity to get out and about. When the days are a little less inviting for outdoor pursuits – there is a local swimming pool and a leisure centre.
An hour drive will take you to the vibrant city centre of Aberdeen with cinemas, theatres, music venues and so much more.
