Shape the Future of Early Years Education in North Northamptonshire

We are excited to offer a unique opportunity for a passionate and dynamic professional to lead the implementation of the PEEP Learning Together Programme (LTP) across North Northamptonshire. The programme is a cornerstone of our Family Hubs Start for Life offer designed to improve outcomes for young children and their families through high-quality early learning experiences.

The PEEP Coordinator will champion the delivery and expansion of this evidence-based initiative, which supports five strands of child development: 

1. personal, social and emotional development, 
2. communication and language, 
3. early literacy, 
4. early maths, and 
5. health and physical development. 

This vital role aims to support school readiness for 3- and 4-year-olds, particularly in areas of need.

As a key member of the Family Hubs and Start for Life programme, you will co-ordinate and deliver PEEP groups across a range of settings, including Family Hubs, early years providers, and community venues. You’ll also play a leading role in developing outreach models, training professionals and volunteers, and embedding PEEP delivery in services that work with families at home.

Why Join Us?
 This is your chance to help shape transformative and inclusive early years offer in North Northamptonshire. You will be part of a supportive, collaborative team working to give every child the best start in life. This role offers variety, purpose, and the opportunity to create long-lasting impact in local communities.

This role involves travel across all of North Northamptonshire

What will you be doing?

• Deliver and co-ordinate PEEP groups across satellite sites and community settings.
