Hi, you might consider looking at these sources of information and asking them about a particular career choice as they'll be able to tell about the work, a role and the responsibilities.

Workplace Manager will have first hand experience of working in an early years setting. They would be able to advise you wha's involved. (ask your workplace manager what advice they'd give to someone considering a career in Early years)


Job Centre will be able to tell you about local job oppenings, training opportunities, help you write a CV/reseme and offer information about financial assistance whilst looking for work - https://www.jobcentreguide.co.uk/job...jobcentre-plus


Local Colleges have a range of qualifications on offer and would be able to look at your current qualifications and inform you which courses will progress your professional development, what costs, funding and study materials are involved.


Careers Advisor help people to look at their interests, stengths, weaknesses and to make decisions about their career choices.
What a Careers Advisors role is: https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-prof...areers-adviser


Friends and family might be able to offer their experiences of working within the career or using its services.


Inspectorate websites will provide dated information about registered settings that could influence your choice of workplace.
Online services
can provide guidance about a chosen career:
  • https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/

Job sites
will offer information about local opportunities as well as the responsibilities of a role and the wage.

Also use google
, enter keywords to look at the establishments in your area and then visit their websites and contact them directly.


Hope this helps xx
