About Kibble
Kibble is a specialist child and youth care charity and a leading social enterprise. For over 160 years we’ve been supporting children and young people (aged 5 – 26), many of whom have experienced significant trauma or adversity. Through our integrated services and dedicated support, providing a safe and stable environment, Kibble helps young people who have complex, social, emotional, behavioural and educational needs move forward to lead healthy and fulfilled lives.
Kibble is recruiting an Education Manager for our Forest View Primary School based in Lochwinnoch. However, as with all staff in Kibble, the successful candidate may be required to work in any service as required, either on a permanent or temporary basis, to meet the needs of the organisation.
Successful candidates will be registered with GTC Scotland and will be keen to gain experience working with young people with additional support needs, including those facing significant social, emotional, and behavioural challenges. A compassionate, nurturing, and relationship-based approach is essential.
What is the Job Function?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and dedicated individual to join our team within Education Services.
Our education programme delivers the broad outcomes of Curriculum for Excellence, taught in a highly supportive learning environment. The successful candidate will be a flexible, forward-thinking professional who uses initiative and is dedicated to inspiring the children and young people in our care, ensuring the highest quality of learning and teaching experiences.
