Salary: 25,322-25,623


Hours: 15 per week, 52 weeks


The Early Learning and Childcare setting has opened in a purpose built building on the campus of St John Vianney Primary School.


We are continuing to expand our staff team over the next year.


We need ambitious, caring staff to join us in creating a truly excellent setting for supporting the children and families of our community. The setting is expanding its staff team, providing a perfect environment for the development of sector leaders and establishing outstanding practice. We are looking for applicants who want to learn with us, and who also bring something with them to share with the team.


In this exciting time for working in ELC, we hope that you are as inspired as we are by the current potential for improving the lives of children, and that you will relish the vital role that you can have in making children's rights a lived reality. Our setting provides the indoor and outdoor spaces all year round, and you will be part of our team delivering the experiences and interactions that our children will enjoy and remember.


We hope you are a committed worker who is full of ideas and understands how to involve others in bringing about positive change.


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
