Who are Spark of Genius?
For over 25 years Spark of Genius has been delivering high quality care to children and young people who need our support. Part of the UK-wide CareTech group, we are committed to providing each child with the opportunities to have their individual needs met in an inclusive and supportive environment.
What is the role?
This is an opportunity to be part of a dedicated team that works directly with young people, supporting them around a range of complex needs connected to their individual life experiences and experienced childhood adversities.
Our children and young people have been through tough times and our goal is to help them to look forward and not back, to support them to see how they can develop their confidence, their independence and develop their own abilities to ensure a brighter more fulfilling path ahead. To do this they need positive, determined and caring individuals to guide them through this crucial time in their lives.

* Work in a positive, respectful and empowering way with all young people in order to promote good relationships and encourage achievements
* To work as part of a friendly team to meet the social, emotional, educational and well-being needs of our young people
* Participate in, and encourage the involvement of the young people in, the domestic tasks of the home in order to develop the self-care & independence skills needed for the future
* Update and maintain care plans, review reports & risk assessments and contribute to the overall development of each individual, this is not a “one size fits all” approach
* Liaise with parents and partner agencies to ensure that the best interests of the young people are respected and promoted at all times
* Encourage activities outside of the homes to include social, educational and community engagement
* Have fun and be part of the family, watch a movie, play a game, take a walk, go on days out and other activities designed to develop a feeling of belonging
What do we look for?
* Good understanding of the developmental needs and milestones of young people
* Experience of working with children and families
* Full UK driving licence (manual)
* Ability to communicate, engage and form positive relationships with young people, parent/carers and other professionals
* Ability to produce clear and concise written reports and records and verbally present information and views
* Ability to challenge individuals where necessary, whilst remaining calm and objective in difficult situations
* HNC in Social Care, SVQ level 3 in Care or equivalent qualification, or the ability to undertake these qualifications
What do we offer you?
* A starting rate of £13.89 to £14.85 per hour depending on qualifications and location
* Comprehensive training including a paid induction followed by shadow shifts with a senior member of staff
* £500 Welcome Bonus once you have completed the probation period
* £1000 Refer A Friend scheme if you introduce someone to us and they join our team
* Ability to complete shifts on Days or Nights as per role application
