Getting back to work made easy
A drop-in session at Lighthorne Heath Children’s Centre will offer an opportunity for visitors to find out more about the world of work.
Anyone interested in finding out more about a range of career opportunities or looking for support to make the first steps back to work, is invited to pop in at any time on Wednesday 11 March to a free information event at the children’s centre on Stratford Road in Lighthorne Heath.
Advice on a range of work and training options will be on offer from a number of organisations who will be present throughout the day including Connexions, Warwickshire College, Pertemps, Pre-school Learning Alliance, Warwickshire County Council and Jobcentre Plus.
Further information will also be provided in the form of leaflets and contact details from other services and agencies ensuring something for everyone.
Joining the representatives will be Ruth Holwell from Warwickshire County Council’s Early Years and Childcare Team. Ruth will be on hand with information for enquirers about the wide range of career and training options available in the childcare sector, in; nurseries, pre-school playgroups, out of school clubs, crèches and as childminders.
There will also be an opportunity to sign up to Warwickshire County Council’s childcare job matching service. This service updates users on childcare vacancies every fortnight by matching skills and experience with suitable local vacancies.
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.”
