Anyone aged 16 or over in England who is not in full-time education. There is no upper age limit.

Many schools and nurseries pay more, and each advert shows its wage exactly as the employer gave it.

Not always. Many apprenticeships accept people without GCSE English and maths and help you achieve them during the apprenticeship. Each advert lists what the employer asks for.
