Role

About the role:

We seek a full-time (35 hours per week) Learning Coordinator to promote and deliver Lead’s East Lothian Multiply Numeracy Skills Project. This is a learning service for disabled people and carers who experience barriers to learning, work, and further education.

The successful applicant will be committed to:

  1. Engaging and supporting disabled people and carers to overcome barriers and embark on personalised learning journeys, making positive, sustained transitions into their chosen progression routes and positive destinations.
  2. Being an active part of the Lead Scotland team as we develop new, exciting learning opportunities in East Lothian for disabled people and carers.

This post is home-based in or near East Lothian and involves regulated work for which a satisfactory PVG will be required. Lead Scotland has a Recruiting People with Convictions Policy.

About you:

You will be passionate about the transformative power of adult learning, be confident in communicating one to one and with groups and have a flexible and creative approach to problem-solving.

You will have great organisational skills and previous experience of supporting disabled people experiencing a range of barriers, of working one-to-one with learners, and of designing and delivering learning programmes. Access to transport is essential due to the nature of the work in homes and communities across the region. You will hold an Assessors Award or be willing to work towards this.
