Helen Christie - Child Care Graduate

“Hi, my name is Helen Christie, I am a graphic designer by trade and was seeking a career change.

I really enjoy being around children, so I chose to enrol into a Diploma of Children’s Services at Bedford College.

I graduated with my Diploma of Children Service’s and was offered a job as the Centre Director at a new OOSH (Out of School Hours) centre, which I am thrilled about.

Bedford has given me the opportunity to make a difference in children's lives by providing them with a positive learning experience. I am confidently a proud past student of Bedford College”.
