Do you want to work with children?
If you are interested in what it is like to be a play worker, have thought about becoming a childminder, or just want to know more about what it takes to work in childcare, free careers events are taking place around the county that will give you all the information you need.
The events will include a presentation about the wide range of career and training options available and you will learn about many different roles in the childcare sector, in nurseries, pre-school playgroups, out of school clubs, crèches and as childminders. Refreshments will be available and you will have a chance to chat informally to an early years adviser.
There will also be an opportunity to sign up to Warwickshire County Council’s special job matching service. This service updates users on childcare vacancies every fortnight by matching your skills and experience with suitable local vacancies.
The events have been organised by Ruth Holwell from Warwickshire County Council’s Early Years and Childcare Team.
Ruth said: “Working in early years childcare is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding jobs you can do and there is a growing need for dedicated people to carry out this vital role. Warwickshire County Council believes children deserve the very best in childcare and early years education and we are there to support people who would like to find out more about careers and play a part in shaping futures.”
