* 28 of a 35-hour working week (£28,128.82 per annum for 28 hours per week) Fixed term to 31 March 2026.
Role
Want to make a real impact on children’s lives in Scotland? We’re looking for a passionate, detail-focused events professional to join our Learning & Events team on maternity cover. You’ll help shape our Learning Programme and lead our commissioned training offer – all with the support of an amazing, dedicated team.
About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced events professional to join our small, but perfectly formed, Learning & Events team while one of our Senior Officers goes on maternity leave. You’ll be joining the team as we re-focus our efforts to deliver the most cost-effective way to support the children’s sector via our Learning Programme.
The Senior Learning & Events Officer contributes to the successful design, delivery and evaluation of Children in Scotland’s Learning Programme – jointly creating an innovative and financially sustainable programme that supports and connects the children’s sector workforce.
As Senior Learning & Events Officer (maternity cover) there will be no direct line management responsibility, but you will lead on some of the key activities delivered by the team. This includes managing our commissioned training offer and overseeing the successful delivery of contracts. You will also, on occasion, deputise for the Learning & Membership Manager in their absence.
You will be ready to hit the ground running but we will offer you an excellent induction and support through the first couple of months. You will join a brilliant group of supportive staff who are passionate about making a difference to children’s lives and work hard to achieve this.
Giving all children in Scotland an equal chance to flourish is at the heart of everything we do.
By bringing together a network of people working with and for children, alongside children and young people themselves, we offer a broad, balanced and independent voice. We create solutions, provide support and develop positive change across all areas affecting children in Scotland. We do this by listening, gathering evidence, and applying and sharing our learning, while always working to uphold children’s rights.
Diversity
Children in Scotland values the contribution of all our staff, whatever their background. Our recruitment decisions are based on fair, open processes, with appointment on merit. We welcome applications from everyone.
*Children in Scotland’s office is in Edinburgh which will be your official contracted place of work. This post will require regular attendance at the office. We have introduced hybrid working based on trust and flexibility so, as long as business needs are met, individuals have flexibility in terms of where they work (home/office).
Interview date Thursday 3 April 2025 in the Children in Scotland offices.
