Career Pathway

Teaching and Childcare

If you’d like a career working with children there are plenty of choices, whether you want to keep them healthy, help them learn and develop, or protect them from harm. If you are interested in teaching you would need to consider the subject and age group you would like to teach and where you would like to work. You could specialise in one or two subjects that you particularly enjoy as a secondary school teacher, or teach a bit of everything in a primary school. And if you don't want to work in a school at all, how about teaching children who are in hospital or a young offenders' institution? Some people may also choose to specialise in Special Educational Needs teaching, which may be in a mainstream or specialist school setting.
