Summary
Outdoor Learning Instructor
Bangholm Outdoor Centre
Hours: Casual
Salary: £20.34 per hour
We are seeking applications to join our pool of casual Outdoor Learning Instructors supporting delivery of our outdoor programmes in and around Edinburgh. Our programmes include, but are not limited to, Expedition and training provision for the Duke of Edinburgh Award and Epic Adventures; an adventurous activity programme delivered to mainly P5 & 6 pupils at Bonaly Scout Centre and the surrounding area.
The posts are in-person instructional posts, not suitable for remote working. Successful candidates will be based in and around Edinburgh or support expeditions across Scotland.
The attached job description & person specifications are generic to our wider service; if you have competencies that match the person specification but don't meet all criteria of the attached person specification regarding NGB awards / outdoor qualifications, please contact us at outdoorlearning@edinburgh.gov.uk to discuss.
This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.
We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.
To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/work-us/behaviours" target="_blank">Our Behaviours - The City of Edinburgh Council
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.
