A fulfilling part-time leadership role, ideal for individuals with a background in teaching, early years or family engagement seeking flexible, impactful work.
About Babyzone
At Babyzone, we believe that every child deserves a fair start in life, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our mission is to empower families and their children, from conception to age five, by providing access to high-quality early years learning opportunities that nurture the parent-child bond. The need for support in early childhood development has never been more critical. Babyzone is a charity funded by foundations, philanthropists and trusts, including global venture builder Blenheim Chalcot. We serve families who struggle to access support elsewhere - due to financial, geographic, or cultural barriers - by offering free, evidence-based classes and resources in premium, fully accessible community hubs. With eight Babyzone Hubs already open across the UK, a ninth in Swansea due to open shortly and ambitious plans for growth, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our tenth Babyzone in Glasgow.
