Role

We’re looking for two experienced, values driven candidates to join our team as we expand our Digital Discourse Initiative programme. This is a unique opportunity to deliver high-quality learning focused on 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 specialising in anti-prejudice education. We deliver professional learning, learner workshops, and curriculum resources, with a core focus on supporting Scotland’s National Approach to LGBT Inclusive Education.

In 2025, we launched the Digital Discourse Initiative with international partners. The programme equips schools with tools and strategies to address disinformation, online hate, prejudicial conspiracy narratives, and harmful online ideologies that increasingly affect children and young people.

We are now recruiting two Education Officers to support the expansion and delivery of this growing programme.

An insight from an Education Officer

“Being an Education Officer with Time for Inclusive Education is a genuinely rewarding role that offers the chance to make a real difference to young people and educators across Scotland. 

Alongside delivering workshops, professional learning, and developing educational resources, I particularly value the research aspect of the role. Having opportunities to explore emerging issues affecting young people and use those insights to shape educational practice makes the work both meaningful and impactful. 

One of the highlights of my time in the role has been my involvement in the Digital Discourse Initiative. Through this work, I have supported schools to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to navigate online spaces critically and safely, build resilience to disinformation, and recognise and challenge prejudicial or hateful content. 

Creating learning experiences around these issues has been especially rewarding, helping young people think critically about how online content can influence their behaviour and relationships. 

Having previously worked as a classroom teacher, one of the things I enjoy most about this role is the variety it offers. It encourages collaboration and creativity, while providing opportunities to contribute to meaningful educational change that supports inclusion and empowers young people to engage confidently with the world around them.”
