You may have worked as a Sports Coach, Teaching Assistant (TA), Playworker, Drama/Dance Instructor, NCS Leader, Scout Leader, Nursery Manager, SEN Support, Dinner Lady, Student, or even as a parent wanting a new career in childcare.

• Natural leaders who are confident, caring, and creative.
• Great communicators who love building relationships.
• Organised planners who can manage teams and activities.
• People who genuinely love working with children.
