Change of job... help!

[emilysarahbeer]

Hey,

I have been working with children as a nursery practitioner, mainly pre-school children, for nearly three years now and I feel i need to try something new. I am not enjoying my job as much anymore and the pay is not brilliant! It's a VERY rewarding job i know, but I'm currently trying to save to move out and marry, which is not easy!

I am qualified level 3 in children and young peoples workforce. Can anyone give me any idea of the kind of jobs out there for people like me? I am passionate about working with children, and helping them, even if not directly working with them. I am particularly passionate about early years, however am open to ideas!

Any help will be much appreciated!
