About Kibble

Kibble supports children and young people (aged 5-26) who have experienced trauma and adversity through residential care, education and mental health services. For more than 200 years, we’ve put young people first and have built a trusted charity with vital services that strive to transform lives, families and communities.

When starting a new job at Kibble, you’ll become part of a dedicated staff team who make sure children are happy and safe 365 days a year, 24/7. Whether your role is in care, education, or the corporate side, you’ll help give young people a chance at life.

Who are we?

Puddle Lane Early Learning and Childcare Centre is part of the Kibble Group, which is ultimately governed by Miss Elizabeth Kibble’s Trust. We are seeking a passionate and experienced Early Years Practitioner to join our professional team of early learning & childcare practitioners.

The successful candidate will have experience of working with pre five children in a relevant setting and knowledge of Scotland’s new national practice guidance ‘Realising the Ambition’, the Early Years Framework and Curriculum for Excellence, with strong communication, organisational and interpersonal skills.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
