Hi Karen,

With your diploma there are many jobs that you can qualify for. These include from the top of my head: room leader positions, assistant director (2IC), director and OOSH co-ordinator.

If you want to apply for a higher position such as a director, it may be a little difficult to find something at first. In my opinion, ever since the new regulations came out, stating that an ECT is required, I find that services may prefer to have an ECT as a director, rather than a diploma. Obviously this isn't the case everywhere, but I just wanted to warn you before you have your heart set on a higher role.

It's best to start as a room leader, 2IC even then work your way up to as a director. It's best to gain experience in each position, finding what suits you then see where it leads you...

Hope all goes well,

Cheers :geek:,
