Scottish Government

Early Learning and Childcare Careers

Campaign

To truly enjoy your job is a rare thing

The Scottish Government promised to double free childcare hours for parents around Scotland and, in order to keep their promise, they required thousands of new Early Learning and Childcare staff by the year 2020.

We targeted parents who were daunted at the prospect of returning to work, or talented individuals whose current humdrum jobs simply didn’t match their sparkle and enthusiasm. We wanted to show them that by getting a job in ELC, work doesn’t have to be about the mundane or routine. If you’re special enough to work in ELC, work can be truly joyful.

Working in ELC is more than a job – it’s a joy

Early Learning and Childcare is not for everyone – you have to be great with kids (obviously) but also able to think on your feet and be passionate about child development. However, if you do meet the bill, it is a job that you can go to everyday with a smile on your face and a skip in your step.

Yes, there’s paperwork, there are board meetings and there’s stock rotation – but of a whole different kind.
