Our Mission
George Watson’s College exists to provide a world-class education for children and young people
from Preschool to S6. We encourage our pupils to develop a love of real learning through an inspiring
curriculum and extensive and inclusive Enrichment programmes.

members of staff. We have excellent buildings and fantastic facilities but it is the people who make our
school what it is and who enable us to be as successful as we are
If you are someone who thrives in value-focused organisations this could be a perfect position for you.
Yes, you will have your own responsibilities, but you will be working in a genuinely collegiate team. You will work closely with colleagues from across the School to ensure that all fundraising projects are fully developed and are ready for the fundraising market.
Due to the emphasis on developing external support for the School, you may be required to work out with
normal office hours and undertake some travel on behalf of the School, both in Scotland and the UK
