Role

Job Summary

We’re looking for an experienced and values driven candidate to join our team as we expand our ‘Digital Discourse Initiative’ programme. This is a unique opportunity to lead on the development of educational content and the delivery of workshops around disinformation, prejudicial conspiracy narratives, online hate, and critical media literacy for schools and education settings.

About our charity - Time for Inclusive Education (TIE) 

We are an education charity working with schools to address the prejudice, stereotypes and stigma that can lead to homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying behaviours. We work with national education partners, deliver services for teachers and learners in schools and communities, and develop teaching and curriculum resources. Our core work focuses on the implementation of Scotland’s National Approach to LGBT Inclusive Education.

In 2024, we launched the ‘Digital Discourse Initiative’ with international partners, a new programme complementing our core work which provides schools with tools and strategies to address the growing impact of disinformation, online hate, prejudicial conspiracy narratives, and ideologies like the so-called ‘Manosphere’ on children and young people. We are hiring a dedicated Education Officer to work on the expansion of this programme.

Role Overview and Responsibilities 

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full time Education Officer to join our team and work on the expansion of our ‘Digital Discourse Initiative’ programme. This will include upscaling the programme by developing and piloting new inputs for primary and secondary school pupils and new resources, including curriculum and teaching materials for schools. New materials will focus on core themes in the existing ‘Digital Discourse Initiative’ professional learning course for teachers.

The successful candidate will report to Directors. This role will include directly delivering education sessions for pupils of varying ages and stages, and information sessions for teachers, school staff, and educators. Additionally, this role will have responsibility for resource and project development, and potential liaison with international partners.

The intention is that the successful candidate for this post will be working within Scottish schools on a regular basis. For this role, we are seeking applications from creative individuals who are passionate about diversity and inclusion, with a strong understanding of the contemporary nature of disinformation, online hate, and the ability to teach critical media literacy skills to diverse audiences.

The successful candidate will be confident working with diverse audiences of school pupils, including harder to reach demographics such as teenagers who may already have engaged with ‘Manosphere’ narratives or prejudicial ideologies online.
