Angus Council ,
Scotland, West Yorkshire
Contract Type: Contract
Salary: £8,695 - £13,617

Overview

Job Description From August 2020, when the funded early learning and childcare (ELC) entitlement increases to 1140 hours per year, Angus Council will have the following delivery models in their early learning and childcare settings: Delivery Model 1 – 190 set days at 6 hours per day (funded entitlement) Delivery Model 2 – 152 set days at 7 ½ hours per day (funded entitlement) Delivery Model 3 – 228 set days at 5 hours per day (funded entitlement) Settings in delivery models 1 and 2 will open over term-time. Delivery 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 (ie when the setting is closed, see above), staff working in these settings will also be able to apply for additional time off while the setting is open. Based at various early learning and childcare settings throughout Angus, working either 20 or 30 hours per week, you will work up to 195 days per year on various working patterns (Monday to Friday), term-time working or equivalent. You will be asked to indicate on application form which hours you are applying for. Due to our commitments in relation to the national expansion of early learning and childcare, by August 2020 the opening hours of all of our early years settings may be subject to change. As a result, the conditions of service relating to these posts may also change. Requirements SSSC registration or the ability to apply for this on appointment is essential. You must have the ability to become a member of the PVG Scheme. Please refer to job outline, person specification and information sheet for further details and requirements for these jobs. These jobs will be available from August 2020.
