Hope Cottage Nursery and Preston Street Primary School are looking for an experienced EYP to join our Nursery Team and our Primary 1 team Wednesdays to Fridays. We are looking for a caring and creative person with the ability to positively interact, inspire and nurture our P1 learners. Demonstrable initiative and team working skills are essential. The successful candidate would work across both settings.

The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.
As part of our goal to improve organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure we're recruiting the best people. We're interested not only in your skills and experience but also in your approach to work. Therefore, part of our interview process will be an assessment of how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range. Happy to talk flexible working.
