Role
Are you passionate about supporting very young children and their families? We at Cattanach are looking to recruit a Learning Officer to join our team. Together, we want to drive positive change for very young children in Scotland and hope to strengthen our support for frontline Early Years organisations. For more information on our work and team, visit our website: cattanach.org.uk.
As Learning Officer with Cattanach, you will be liaising directly with registered charities across Scotland who support families with very young children (pre-birth to about school age) as part of our evaluations process and our learning offers. Working closely with the Chief Executive and Grants & Relationships Officer, you will provide support to charities in working on their evaluations and growing their Early Years practice through our bespoke learning offer; this will also include in-person visits to settings across Scotland. You will feed into reports for our Grants Committee and Board and support the Cattanach team in keeping our grants management system and wider database up to date. As part of a small but ambitious team, your work will be varied and may look very different day-to-day – ranging from support with research summaries to hosting a webinar or organising training for grantees.
We are specifically looking for a motivated and enthusiastic professional with Early Years experience in research, evaluations, and/or policy, and with a passion for improving the lives of very young children. Cattanach will provide comprehensive training to support the transition into the grant-making world if the successful candidate has no prior experience. We ask that all candidates demonstrate their understanding and commitment to the four Cattanach values:
- INTEGRITY – We strive to be fair, ethical and accountable.
- LOVE – We recognise the importance of nurturing relationships, with kindness and compassion at the heart of all our work.
- CONSIDERATION – We are mindful of the challenges, hopes and aspirations of others.
- HOPE – We are passionate about enabling change through our work with partners and the organisations we support.
Our team has shown a preference to working from our Edinburgh offices and residence in Scotland is essential. Work can be organised flexibly to suit you and the charities we work with. Please note that the post entails significant travel across Scotland although overnight trips are rare. We are keen to honour our staff’s needs and preferences, and provide equipment for remote-working as and when it is required. Cattanach offers a competitive benefits package and on-going attractive training opportunities. If you would like to have an informal chat before applying, please contact our Grants & Relationships Officer Jemma in the first instance (jemma@cattanach.org.uk). We are planning to hold interviews in May 2022.
