Looking for a new work challenge? Want to give our youngest residents the best start in life? Then a career in Early Years could be for you!
Liverpool City Council is hosting a dedicated Early Years Recruitment Event on Wednesday 12 June and anyone aged 16 and above who is interested in finding out more about the opportunities in this rewarding sector is encouraged to attend.
The event is open to people who are currently unemployed as well as those who are already in work but looking to change career direction.
Early Years is the period of a child’s life from birth to five years and includes educational and childcare settings such as play groups, nurseries and childminders.
The event is hosted at The Liner Hotel, Lord Nelson Street, L3 5QB (near Lime Street Station) and doors are open from 2-7pm. It’s free to attend and job seekers can drop in at any time but it is advisable to reserve a place via Eventbrite.
Early Years employers from across the city with vacancies to fill will be at the event as will training providers, including the council’s own Adult Learning Service, who can offer guidance on the learning and qualifications required to work in Early Years. In addition the Liverpool Ways to Work team will be available to provide extra support for people who are not currently in work.
