New childcare careers website launched
Tuesday 8 May 2018 sees the launch of a new website designed to encourage people to consider taking up a career in childcare. The Scottish Social Services Council website shows how someone can build a career in day care of children, which includes early learning and childcare (ELC), out of school care, childminding and other services where children are cared for during the day.
Childhood experiences last a lifetime and we need a skilled, confident workforce to make sure all children have the best start. With big increases planned for funded ELC in Scotland there’s never been a better time to start a career in childcare.
Our new easy to use website explains:
Working with children is fun, interesting and an opportunity to make a significant difference. We hope that anyone interested in this career can use the website to help make their first steps. For those already working in childcare we hope it gives some inspirational ideas about where their career might take them next.
We developed the website in partnership with Skills Development Scotland, the Care Inspectorate and Smarter Scotland (Scottish Government).
