GME EY Development Officer (360G-BNG-2324_3025)

The continuation of a Development Officer post to coordinate development and expansion of 0-5’s GME provision, within our Gaelic Education Improvement Plan. The potholder supports our improvement strategy by increasing collaboration and improving alignment of Cròileagan groups with Oganan, Sgoil-àraich and EY at TnaP. Areas of focus  include improving support for families, taking forward partnership work and promoting awareness of 0-5 GME provision in Edinburgh.  This benefits families already involved in GME at various stages, through increased support and greater cohesion within the service. It also contributes to our expansion by encouraging new families to choose a GME pathway for their children and supporting them with their engagement with Gaelic language. We hope to increase capacity within our EY teams in order to achieve an improved 0-5 service structure. This will support our aims to increase engagement with Gaelic and GME across our communities and support sustainability of GME in Edinburgh. The one year pilot for this post has been very successful and we foresee this as a long-term role to support future vision.
