Careers in the Education Sector
School time is both the exciting and most formative years of a child’s development, beginning with reception classes through to GCSEs, A Levels and higher education time spent in school helps young residents shape the person they are to become. As such employment within the education sector can provide an exciting, varied and rewarding experience ensuring career development and growth while contributing to children’s development. Whether delivering direct support in the classroom setting or working to ensure the smooth operation of a school’s support network all roles are critical. Often some roles in schools can be ideal for residents with childcare commitments providing employment opportunities in and around schools opening hours allowing for the flexibility needed to support a family – however this cannot always be guaranteed but certainly considered.
