Fair Isle, which is located between Orkney and Shetland, has a population of 65 people. Only three students are currently enrolled in its primary school but employs two support staff.

       Now the school has advertised a head teacher position that is defined as a “once in a lifetime opportunity”.

       The job advert, posted on myjobscotland.gov.uk, appeals to a professional with a “can-do attitude”.

       It reads: “As well as the relevant qualifications and experience, qualities we are looking for are: a can-do attitude, vision, energy, initiative, good communication skills and self-discipline.”

       The successful candidate will be offered a salary of ￡56,787 a year in exchange for work 35 hours a week.

       They will also receive an annual payment of ￡2,265 under the Scottish government’s Distant Islands Allowance.

       The idyllic island, which boasts a larger puffin population than human, can be reached via a 25 minute flight from Shetland or by a two-and-a-half-hour ferry trip.

       Fair Isle Primary School Parent Council chair Susannah Parnaby, told shetlandtimes.co.uk: “There are lots of opportunities for creative teaching – the children are always keen to get involved with our school garden, and to study the natural world and the island’s culture, with music, knitting and crofting important parts of this.

       “For the right person, Fair Isle is a great place to live and provides the opportunity to build relationships with the children and a supportive local community.”

       Quality improvement manager Robin Calder told the news outlet: “This is a tremendous opportunity for a head teacher, or aspiring head teacher, to join the vibrant community in Fair Isle and continue to take the school forward.”
