Ambassadors for careers

Skills for Care & Development has announced a new initiative to support recruitment across early years, children’s and young people’s services, helping employers get the right people into the right posts and retain them.

The new initiative will establish the Ambassadors for Careers with Children and Young People service, which will aim to improve public awareness of work in early years and children’s services as a rewarding, valuable and long term career.

The Ambassadors will have first-hand experience of working in the sector and bring passion, experience and inspiration to support others to consider working in early years, children’s and young people’s services as a positive career choice. Ambassador work will also raises the employer’s profile amongst future customers and helps to build a positive reputation in the local community overall.

The project, which has received co-investment from the UK Commission for Employment and Skills through the Employer Investment Fund, is now looking for any employers or potential Ambassadors who would like to pilot the scheme or test the online registration system.
