A career in childcare can be rewarding, varied and fun, and it's a sector that has been growing rapidly these past few years.

This pack which was originally produced with Young in Herts will help you decide if a career in childcare is for you and then take you through the career opportunities that might be worth considering. The pack covers:

	The types of jobs or careers from childminder to nursery manager, with information on around 20 different types of work
	Skills and interests
	Pay and conditions
	Training and qualifications
	Equal opportunities
	Developing your career

It also looks at how you can get started if you are leaving school or have no experience of this sector and it asks 'if childcare is for you?'. There is also a section on where you can get further help before you start looking at getting into a job locally.

The price for a copy is £7.95 plus £2 post and packing.
