Floaters Information in Child Care

If you do a job search you may be able to find a "floater" position. As a floater you are not assigned to one room in particular as you would typically. You would "float" between each rooms during the course of the day. As a floater you are able to get full time work and as far as wages go it depends on your qualification but you would most probably be paid as a Level 3 - since it is similar to an assistants position... Also just so you know not all floating positions require you to work full time some centres may offer part time work a a floater as well. It really depends on the needs of the centre.

Hope this helps,

I am currently looking for work as I am new to working in the child care industry, could I ask if I can be a floater part time?! then go on to doing the diploma ☺️ thanks that was helpful.

You could but it really depends on the needs of the centre... No harm in trying though!
