Framework Agreement for Learning Program - Activity Facilitators

Location

Edinburgh

Description

As part of our Making Sense of Scotland offer the Learning and Inclusion team and HES Collections Unit provide a range of fully facilitated programmes for schools, informal learners and community groups, both at our sites and as outreach. These incorporate a variety of existing activities on a range of cross-curricular topics offered to learning groups and to enhance public engagement with HES sites and collections through tours and events. Some are offered as bookable sessions and others in a drop-in format. To ensure continuity of programming the HES Learning and Inclusion Team is seeking to commission a pool of up to 12 freelance facilitators who can deliver a range of these learning activities both at HES sites and in an outreach capacity in schools and community venues. These will primarily be delivered across Scotland’s Central Belt but there may occasionally be opportunities to support with delivery of activities in other regions (it should be noted that HES delivers a national learning and engagement programme with specific programmes and projects, outside of this commission, covering other areas of the country).
