Summary
Job Description
This job is workstyle 1 – Fixed.
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
ELC settings in models 1 and 2 will 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. Whilst 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 peripatetically across two early learning and childcare centres, they are Abbey View ELCC (ELC Model 1), Arbroath and Monifieth ELCC (ELC Model 3). Your base location will be Abbey View ELCC, Arbroath.
Working 36.25 hours per week on various working patterns Monday to Friday, your working year is 251 days per annum. This is based on a working year of 261 days per annum, 10 days of which are non-working unpaid days.
Your entitlement is incorporated within the salary and salary scale.
You will provide a management and support service for children and staff within the ELCCs, ensuring the provision of a high quality, flexible and accessible early learning and childcare service in line with established policies and procedures and current local and national guidance.
Membership of the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) or commitment to gain registration with the SSSC in accordance with their requirements is essential.
A full, current driving licence and access to vehicle are essential.
Please note interviews will be held Monday, 2 June 2025.
