Education Adviser
The Education Committee seeks to appoint an Adviser (part-time) to help those parents who desire to educate their children outwith the state system. Applicants are sought who have a background in education and a strong sympathy for Christian education consistent with Free Presbyterian principles and practice. The role entails engaging with parents to help them plan and implement their child’s education. It will involve an assessment of available resources, working with the parents to identify those most suitable for the child; helping to facilitate links with other like-minded families to share resources and experience, and investigating possible financial assistance for outlays such as textbooks and paid-for courses. It is expected that a small grant pool will be available from the Committee, and the Adviser will assist the Committee with this and other financial and regulatory matters.
It is envisaged that the work will be for 20 hours per week for two years, after which the post will be reviewed. The salary will be up to £20 000 per annum depending on qualifications and experience. Applications (a CV with a covering letter), or requests for further information, should be sent to the Committee Convener, Mr Frank Daubney; email: f.daubney@ntlworld.com.
