Recruitment

The Childcare Recruitment Service (CRS) is administered by Worcestershire County Council's Early Years and Childcare Service, together with Jobcentre Plus. We receive details of job vacancies in early years, childcare and playwork from the private and voluntary sectors, in addition to Local Authority posts. The CRS also enables Job Seekers to promote their skills and enthusiasm to join the childcare workforce or further their career. If you register your details with the CRS, we can put your job seeker’s details on our jobs website and they can be sent out with our Childhood Matters newsletter, so that local employers know that you are looking for work.
