Who we are

Keep Scotland Beautiful is your charity inspiring action for our environment.

Our vision is for a clean, green, sustainable Scotland. We are a practical organisation working with communities, schools, businesses, local and national government, public bodies and individuals to help combat climate change, tackle litter and waste, restore nature and biodiversity and improve the places we care for.

We support the ambitions of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

We offer a fantastic benefits package in return for your talent. These include but are not limited to a generous pension scheme; hybrid working; development opportunities; a 35-hour work week along with an annual free volunteer day to take your skills or interests to support others. We operate a hybrid working policy, which allows a balance between home/remote working and coming to our wonderful, new office Hub in Stirling.

What the role is

Reporting to the Eco-Schools Scotland Coordinator, the Education and Learning Officer (Gaelic) will be part of the Education and Learning Team and will ensure that all Climate Action Schools programmes and activities can be translated into, supported, developed, and implemented in the Gaelic language. The Education and Learning Officer (Gaelic) will also offer direct support to schools across the northern areas of the Highland Council, Western Isles and the surrounding area, by delivering in-person Eco-Schools and climate education training and workshops. The Education and Learning Officer will also support learning establishments to engage where appropriate with wider Keep Scotland Beautiful projects.

What you’ll need to have

We are looking for someone with fluency in written and spoken Gaelic with a good working knowledge of supporting and implementing large-scale youth-focused projects and initiatives.

You will have experience of coordinating and supporting volunteers along with the ability to plan, develop and implement training and support. In addition, we are looking for you to have demonstrable experience of supporting education initiatives and programmes and supporting press/media/PR activity.

You will ideally be based in or able to travel throughout the areas where direct support to schools will be provided as part of the post.
