If you've been thinking about finding a job helping children to learn and grow we hope you find the following booklet very useful. It's been produced to give you a real insight into the rewards and challenges you can expect when working with young children.

Hopefully, the booklet will help you decide whether a job working with young children will suit the type of person you are. After all, you'll be expected to play a key role in the lives of the children under your wing, and help to lay a solid foundation for the development of each and every child in your care during these crucial early years.

The Family Fund helps families with severely disabled children to have choices and the opportunity to enjoy ordinary life. The Family Fund gives grants for things that make life easier and more enjoyable for the disabled child and their family, such as washing machines, driving lessons, hospital visiting costs, computers and holidays.

The Just @sk Centre has relocated from Caroline Street to a newly refurbished town centre premises in Wyndham Street to provide quality information, advice and guidance services to young people aged 11 - 25, bringing together a wide range of service providers in one fantastic venue.
