Children and Young People's Workforce (CYPW)

Do you like the idea of helping young children to learn and develop? Could you give the care a child needs whilst they are away from their family? Are you patient, caring and playful? Then a career in Child Care might be right up your street.

The Child Care Apprenticeship is designed for people who wish to pursue a career working with children and gives the opportunity to specialise in a specific Child Care related area once you've found your feet.

What can I expect to do as a CYPW Apprentice?

As an Apprentice working with children you can expect to be involved in all sorts of things such as: teaching games and exercises, organising play, co-ordinating group play and projects, caring, feeding, nursing, cleaning-up… the list is endless, sometimes tiring, but very rewarding .
