A new national recruitment campaign in England has been launched by the Department of Education today across TV, cinema, online, radio and out of home advertising to encourage people to start a career working with small children ahead of the first phase of the largest ever expansion in free childcare starting in April.
A £1,000 sign-on bonus for childcare workers - which will cover 20 local authorities across England- is also being launched today to increase capacity, tackle unemployment, and offer more childcare places. The trial will give new-starters and returners a tax-free cash payment shortly after they take up post.
