How to advertise Early Years and Wraparound jobs

Where to advertise a job

Jobseekers are being directed to the government's 'Do something BIG. Work with small children’ Early Years careers campaign. It has lots of information on early years and childcare careers.

Find out more about the Early Years careers campaign.

This is where we recommend you advertise right now. The service is free and targets a large pool of potential candidates.

How to advertise a job

To advertise:

Go to: Find a job GOV.UK
Create an employer account
Click the category Education & Childcare Jobs 
Include either Early Years or Wraparound Childcare at the beginning of your job title depending on the role (this is what jobseekers will use when searching, so is very important)

You can watch government produced video tutorials if you need further support.
