Duties
The position of an area development officer (ADO) is an extremely interesting and dynamic one. It is a role which is moulded to suit the needs of the local regional area.
The principal aim is to support the regional manager and the development managers in their roles. This is the core duty of the job, which is common to all ADOs.
How this works in practice varies from area to area and involves a range of activities. These include supporting the NCMA's two quality assurance schemes - Quality First for individual childminders, and Children Come First, for childminders in quality-assured networks. The latter scheme is also applicable to those working as volunteers or delivering training courses.
