Descrição da oferta de emprego

Senior Early Years Practitioner - ANG06449

In this workstyle most of your time is spent undertaking the direct delivery of front-line services work. Depending on your role there may be a limited requirement to access a specific council location during the course of the working week if you are not delivering your service at a council location.

Angus Council currently operates the following models in their early learning and childcare settings:

ELC Model 1 – children’s funded entitlement is 190 set days at 6 hours per day

ELC Model 2 – children’s funded entitlement is 152 set days at 7½ hours per day

ELC Model 3 – children’s funded entitlement is 228 set days at 5 hours per day

You will also have weekly planning and preparation time, and agreed collegiate time, in addition to the “child contact” hours outlined above.

ELC model 1 and 2 settings are open over term-time.

ELC Model 3 is different as these settings are open for more hours every day and are only closed to children for two weeks over the Christmas/New Year period, three weeks in July/August and a further three public holidays and five in-service days. Therefore, they are offering ELC over 46.6 weeks of the year. This also means staff can use their annual leave and non-working time in a different way to staff working term-time. While some of the leave will be decided in advance (that is, when the setting is closed), staff working in these settings will also be able to apply for additional time off while the setting is open.

You will work closely with the head teacher/manager to oversee and contribute to planning and implementing the curricular programme. You will support the early years practitioner(s) to plan, assess and record information on individual's progress in accordance with relevant policies. You will be expected to liaise with the early years manager and head teacher/manager to ensure educational experiences are provided and that care needs are met.

Membership of the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) or commitment to gain registration with the SSSC in accordance with their requirements is essential.

Please note interviews will be held Friday, 11 December 2026.
