**Further Information**:
This post is currently based at Blandford Children's Centre with outreach sessions at other local educational settings. From September there may be a change in location and provision will likely include two educational settings around the north Dorset/Somerset border.

Start date September 2024.

There are two part-time roles available at 22.2 hours per week (3 days a week with an 'over-lap' day for liaison, training, resources etc.), Initially, this is a fixed term until 31 August 2025.

Interviews will be held on Thursday the 27th of June.

This post requires travel between local settings, and a travel allowance is payable for work mileage. You must have a vehicle (or transport we deem suitable) available for use as needed.

See our policy on safeguarding children and young people.

Term Time only contracts, base the pro-rata salary on:

- the number of hours
- the number of weeks worked
- paid annual leave entitlement for an employee under 5 years’ service

In the first year of service this salary may need to be adjusted to ensure you are paid accurately to reflect your holiday entitlement. A similar adjustment may be made at the point your employment ends to ensure that you are paid accurately for the number of days worked in any academic year.

This role is UK based and we will need to establish your Right to Work as part of the appointment process.
