I had been a nanny for many years and then childminded for many more years.

I now feel like i want a change and want to know aht options i have with an nneb?

would love to go into TA in my local schools, not sure how you find out when those jobs come up in the schools, and does anyone know roughly who much you get per week..as an example??

what other jobs could i look at too, maybe in the nhs, or councils to with childcare/related??

I feel like i have more to give and would like to go on from childminding.
just not sure where to start!!?

I am super orgaised person and great with orgainisng thingsd quickly and efficiantly and would love to use those aspects maybe?????

ideas and tips would be fantastic.
thank you.

TA you probably need to go on and do further training. If it's a long time since you did your NNEB they'll probably expect a more recent qualification to do with supporting teaching and learning in schools but contact local schools and ask. Salary varies from council to council and what type of TA you are e.g. SEN TA or more of a classroom assistant.

Family support worker? Community nursery nurse? HCA in a maternity ward or neonatal unit? You may need to update your common core skills training, but if you're a CM you've probably done that.

OFSTED inspector for CMS?! I'm liking the sound of super-organised, quick and efficient for that. They're qualities some inspectors definitely lack....

Thanks for advice...

just a few questions form what you have said/.

Where do the school ta jobs usually get found then? in the local paper? a website? etc.

what are common core skills??

where are good places to see these kind of jobs you have listed??? is there more common ones i mean...

thank you.xxxx

lots of school are let ta go as they have no money
but they also using grade 3 nvq TA as teachers
the best way to get in with local school is asking if they need any help
lots of jobs will go to mums that start off helping out and then get offered the job

there are add in local papers so look out for them
there are are also agency for temp TA which could give a good idea about all the diffrent school

try the private school see if you can go there bank

are interested in special needs?
in my area they is school that needs loads of ta that is private and there is always jobs going there

any state special needs school has lots of ta too

forgot to say check local gov web site

look on www.jobs.nhs.uk as well. As someone said before you could do community nursery nurse, maternity assistant or nursery nurse based on a maternity ward or Neonatal unit.

sorry www.jobs.nhs.uk

Others have answered the where questions.

Common core is the basic training in the 6 main areas:

Communication
Development
Protecting and promoting the welfare of the child
Supporting transitions by helping children to move from one setting to another or from one phase of development to another
Working with many different agencies
Sharing information.

It's explained in more detail here but the problem is at the moment that no-one really knows what is common core compliant and what isn't because the framework isn't ready, but at a guess anything done before 2004 will need at least a child protection update and some of the older qualifications will need considerably more.

If you've done the ICP or ChIP then you're probably up to date.

You can also do play work in hospitals. Although you need to do a short course for it.

tes.co.uk has teaching based jobs, and often some TA ones will come up in independant schools.
eteach has lots too.
If you look specifically at independant schools, isc.co.uk is good.

Other wise, look on local council/government websites ie mine is devon.gov.uk as they have more jobs than Plymouth (where I actually live!)

Ta-ing is very very competitive. I've known 200-300 people apply for a job, with about 60 be "short"listed. That could just be this location though...

Would recommend you volunteer in some local schools. I know many TAs who have got the jobs though being a dinner lady/classroom volunteer and then have moved onto one-to-one with a child and then whole class TA. All teachers I know would LOVE someone to come in and help/hear readers/read maths questions etc!

The education department at your local council will have a list of TA jobs available. The childminders union/trust (cant remember the name often have jobs advising people about childminding. You could contact them too
