Midlothian Sure Start is a dynamic, award winning third sector organisation. It offers a quality support service to families with children up to age 12 across Midlothian. Midlothian Sure Start has been in existence since 2001 and employs over 70 members of staff providing a service in Family Learning centres and in the community. Our ethos is to provide a holistic, confidential community based service where families are at the heart of what we do.

We are looking for people who are as passionate about the services we provide as we are and in return we are keen to support professional development with excellent training and development opportunities, enhanced sick pay (following completion of probation), enhanced annual leave entitlement (we close completely for a well-earned break over Christmas and New Year) and we support our staff with an Employee Assistance Programme, Pension Scheme, Discounted Childcare, Health Cash Plan and Discounted Shopping.

We are currently recruiting a Centre Manager to manage a quality family learning centre that supports children and families in the local area on behalf of Midlothian Sure Start. The Centre Manager will have overall responsibility for the delivery of early learning and childcare, family learning and support services to parents with young children. The role's responsibilities will include staff management, financial management and ensuring Care Inspectorate standards are met and maintained. A BA Childhood Practice/PDA Level 8/9 is desirable and ability to register with the SSSC as a Manager of Day Care of Children's Service is essential.
