Many people working with children do not consider it a job but see it as an opportunity to make a difference to a child’s life.
Apart from being very rewarding, you could also benefit from a career which is challenging, has variety and a sense of fun!
You could be working as a childcare practitioner in a range of settings for example in the home, a nursery, the community or a primary school.
For all these roles you will need security clearance. You will need to be organised and have great communication skills.
