An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full time, full year practitioner to work part of the week as a family learning practitioner and part of the week as an Early Childhood Practitioner (ECP) supporting the delivery of high quality play experiences in primary 1 classes in the Pitlochry area.

The earliest years of life are crucial to a child’s development and have a lasting impact on outcomes in health, education and employment opportunities later in life. This is why the government is making an unprecedented investment in Early Learning & Childcare (ELC) to support the ambition to give all our children the very best start in life.

Perth & Kinross aim to ensure that all families have access to high quality family learning within the early years which ensures that parents/carer can support their children and equip them to grow up health, happy, attaining and achieving.

Family learning encourages family members to learn together, with a focus on intergenerational learning. Family learning activities can also be specifically designed to enable parents to learn how to support their children’s learning.

Perth & Kinross aim to intensify and deepen support for learning.

As part of the covid recovery plan we are looking to recruit Early Childhood Practitioners to support the delivery of high quality learning within primary one across Perth and Kinross.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an individual who has a commitment and passion to deliver excellence and equity so that every child can thrive and have the best opportunity to succeed.
