• Working with children Lana Last updated by Demi: 07-Feb-2017

  My younger brother has just come out of a very difficult and turbulent period, and seeing how much help he’s had from some support services has made me realise that I’d love to be able to do this sort of thing for others. Are there any special requirements for jobs dealing with children and young people? And does this type of job pay enough to make a profession of it? Thanks.

    In general it’ll depend on the post itself, a position in a summer camp has different requirements from a position in a residential care institution. In all cases, everyone working with children is required to have a Disclosure and Barring Service check. After that, qualifications and experience will be determined by the position.

    It’s always good to have some knowledge on basic health issues, plenty of common sense to safeguard their physical integrity and a good understanding of the human psyche and of behavioural patterns.
