About the role
We have an exciting opportunity to be part of our enthusiastic and dedicated Learning and Engagement team to support our family and early years programme. If you have proven experience of developing and coordinating programmes for families with excellent communication and organisational skills, we want to hear from you.
The families and early years programme aims to connect families with art and creativity through artist-led workshops and resources to help guide family visits as well as working with partners and external organisations. Our partnership work focuses on breaking down barriers to engage with the Galleries. It includes working with organisations who provide opportunities for families experiencing disadvantage and inequality.
You will also have previous experience of working with families, ideally in galleries or museums, and have a creative and practical approach to learning and engagement programmes. You’ll work alongside the Families Learning Coordinator (job share) and be part of a close-knit team in which mutual respect and excellent communication skills are essential.

- Coordinate and deliver our monthly Art Stomps, Art Baby Connects (ABC) and offsite Creative Clinic programme at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People.
- Co-deliver the six-week summer family programme in July and August as well as the other holiday programmes in October, February and Easter.
- Monitor and manage our resources including trails, art trolley and learning spaces.
- Undertake administration relating to the post, including collating feedback, statistics, budgets, purchase orders, diary management and website updates.
Who we are looking for
To succeed in this role, you’ll need the following range of knowledge, skills, and experience:
- Experience of delivering creative learning opportunities for families and early years including those with specific access requirements.
- Experience of welcoming and engaging with families.
- Effective communication and interpersonal skills.
- Effective organisational skills and ability to prioritise work.
- Ability to work on own initiative and solve problems as well as working collaboratively.
- Willingness to work flexible hours, including weekends and holiday periods, as learning programmes require.
It would also be great if you have:
- A broad-ranging knowledge of the National Galleries of Scotland’s collections.
- Experience of working with artists.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Monday, 09 November 2026.
