Education, Teacher Training and Childhood Studies

Common roles for new graduates in the childhood studies field include support work, learning support, play work, family and children's centre work, education administration and management, nursery work and community support. Those with appropriate qualifications and experience also enter jobs such as nursery nursing, teaching and social work. Others use their background in childhood studies to gain further relevant work experience before embarking on a professional course such as primary teaching, social work or counselling.

TOP TIP:There are more ways in and more support available to help you get there than ever before. And because the government is keen to recruit good teachers, there's also a variety of sources of funding and support available while you complete your course. There's also the possibility of a "golden hello" in your second year of teaching. Check with the individual institution for details and ask in the Learning Shop for the different training options.
