Employment information - Teachers

Through the Joint Negotiating Committee for Teaching Staff (JNCT) the agreement of local variations to the national terms and conditions for teaching staff employed by Perth & Kinross Council is a major workload for this Committee.  The partnership approach adopted in Perth & Kinross ensures that there is consistency and transparency in the application of such local agreement to all teaching staff.

Over the last few years, the JNCT has reached local agreement on a number of issues and these can be found on this page.

This site will be regularly updated as new agreements are signed or current ones reviewed and replaced.
