Upon graduation, Childs began working for London-based furniture designer Edward Collinson. He started as an intern and was later employed full-time as a junior furniture maker.
In 2021, he was an artist in residence at Hinterraum Berlin, a then-new art initiative, project space, music venue and studios.

In 2023, he worked as an assistant for Henrique Olivera, predominantly on 'Ouroboros'. A permanent installation at Le Partage des Eaux. He maintains this role on a freelance basis. Childs later went on to study a second BA (Hons) degree in historic carving: architectural stone at the City and Guilds of London art school.
