Modern Apprenticeships in Childcare PA Training PA Training is involved in the recruitment, selection and training of Modern Apprentices in the childcare sector. The organization currently has vacancies in the south Edinburgh area. As a Modern Apprentice you would undertake a Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) in Social Services (Children and Young People) beginning at Level 2 and working towards Levels 3 and 4. PA Training delivers a comprehensive induction to the relevant SVQ course and provides a series of training days to covering a range of topics such as positive behavior, emotional wellbeing and child protection. These are held in central Edinburgh. PA Training staff also visit students, at the nursery in which they are employed, to oversee their training and to help them complete their SVQ portfolio.   Requirements. Candidates should have achieved a number of National 4 qualifications including English. Strong communication skills and the ability to be able to work as part of a team are also needed. No previous experience with children necessary, but is helpful. How to apply To apply go to http://www.pa-training.org/social-services-children-and-young-people/ to complete an on-line application form. PA Training will then contact you to arrange an initial interview. If they feel that you are a suitable candidate they will arrange an interview and trial session with a nursery. Closing date On-going recruitment, so no set closing date. Vacancy advertised on 10 January 2017.
