Want to do something that's more rewarding and change societ
CANDIDATES
Fewer than 3% of Early Years professionals are men. At The Early Years Movement, we’re changing that. We support men from all walks of life to train, qualify, and succeed in Early Years roles. It’s never too late, or too early, to start a career that matters.
CAREER CHANGERS
Feeling unfulfilled in your current profession?
Considering early retirement and a change into something more rewarding and altruistic?
Then a career in Early Years could offer the purpose you’ve been missing. Many of our candidates come from high-pressure environments or roles that no longer align with their values. What they find in Early Years is the chance to build deep, human connections, contribute to children’s emotional development, and rediscover meaning in their day-to-day. Whether you’re leaving the corporate world or stepping out of a long-standing profession, this career shift can be both life-enhancing and impactful.
CAREER CHANGES
If you haven’t yet found your direction yet, this could be exactly what you need to map your career path.
Many of our candidates are just starting out, with no formal qualifications or work experience, but they care deeply and want to do something that matters.
Through our partnership with LEYF, we help candidates gain a fully supported Level 3 Early Years qualification while earning a salary. It’s a way to step into a career with confidence, backed by practical experience, mentoring, and a clear path forward. You don’t need to know all the answers, you just need to want to make a difference.
CAREER ENHANCERS
If you’re already working in Early Years or hold a foundational qualification, you might be ready to take the next step.
Whether you’re aiming for leadership, deeper expertise, or a full degree in Early Childhood Education, we’ll support you in progressing your career. Many of our candidates choose to build on their existing qualifications through our partners like LEYF, who offer degree pathways designed for working professionals. If you’re passionate about inclusion, growth, and building a career that matters, you’re in the right place.
