The Dornoch Firth Group is looking to recruit a new Families and Communities Assistant to help develop and deliver a new outdoor toddler group.
The new post holder would also be expected to help run a new Mamas’ Club and Woodland Storywalks group based in Donoch and Embo.
The Dornoch Firth Group is an independent charity set up in 2007 to serve the local community by delivering mental health and wellbeing projects.

The new Outdoor Toddler Group will be based at Davochfin Farm, Dornoch, and the successful applicant will be involved in the development of the group - researching forest school ideas and trialling activities.

A spokesperson for the Dornoch Firth Group said: “The candidate will help promote the group, welcome families, read stories, do bug hunts, sing songs and support parents and carers.”
The group is looking for someone who has experience of working or volunteering in a community setting and is “full of ideas, is able to communicate activities to different age groups and make events fun”.
