Early Years Officer
Forest Kindergarten - Hawkhill
Salary: £33,287 - £39,129 (pro-rata for part-time and sessional)
Hours: 18 per week, 39 weeks sessional
Forest Kindergartens are fully outdoor Early Learning and Childcare settings, based in woodlands and parks across the City of Edinburgh. We support children's learning and development through connections to nature, community, people and through developing life-long skills, resilience, curiosity and a love for the natural world.
We are now recruiting an enthusiastic Early Years Officer based at our Hawkhill location on a permanent basis. The successful candidate will work 18 hours per week, Monday 8am-4pm, Tuesday 8am-4pm and Friday 8am-11am.
Please note - You must ensure that you have the required qualification(s) before you apply, so please refer the attached documentation for requirements, or we will be unable to consider your application.
This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.
We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.
To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours – The City of Edinburgh Council
Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
Happy to talk flexible working.
