Career Pathways

A career in childcare is very rewarding and there are many different career pathways to choose from, covering both working in private homes or in public settings such as schools or nurseries. If you are yet to take your first steps into this industry, there are several entry points.

Alternatively, if you are already working in childcare, you may be considering how to advance your career, whether that is taking on more responsibility or broadening your skills and knowledge. Or you may be considering a transition from one area to another. For instance, from a more generalised position to moving into a particular specialisation. We have broken down some of these childcare career pathways for you so you can explore each individually and learn how to follow them.
