Role

About the role

Enquire is the Scottish advice service for additional support for learning. The service is funded by the Scottish Government and managed by Children in Scotland.

Our goal is to help parents, carers, professionals and children and young people understand pupils’ rights to extra support in school and early years settings. Our vision is that all children in Scotland are supported, included, and listened to throughout their education.

We are looking for someone to help us expand our offer for parents and carers of children young than school age, and early years professionals. This will include working in partnership with key stakeholders to identify gaps in our advice and information provision, and developing new resources and information sessions.

The right candidate will have an understanding of early learning and childcare in Scotland, with the ability to explain complex information to different audiences in a clear and concise way. 

About Children in Scotland

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. 

Our range of knowledge and expertise means we can provide trusted support on issues as diverse as the people we work with and the varied lives of children and families in Scotland.

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.
