**About us**

Genus Care is a family run business, who own 7 residential child care homes across South Wales. As Genus Care is owned by the people who run the company on the inside, we make 'child focused, person centred' decisions
- not financial or political ones. We don’t have investors or share holders that we need to satisfy. We aim to positively change the lives of all children living with us, to realise their full and often undiscovered potential whilst at the same time keeping them safe, educating them and sticking by them. We will do whatever it takes to achieve success.

We have a simple philosophy which is based entirely on the needs and best interests of the child: Once they come to live with us we will not fail them by ending their placement either unnecessarily or before the conclusion of their care and support plan.

Our aim is to end the constant merry go round of frequent placement moves and to offer the children a stable, safe and nurturing environment to enable them to put down roots and be a part of the local community where they can reach their full potential and thrive.

**The Job**

We are currently recruiting for a Residential Child Care Professional (RCCP) in Canton in Cardiff to work with young people in their late teens who have been placed in our care by the Local Authority. These young people are coming to the end of their life in care but are not quite ready to live independently. With our support and guidance we can give them the tools they need to become independent young adults to prepare them for when they leave us to live on their own. They can display unwanted behaviour and the job can be challenging at times.

If you are caring, hard
- working, happy, positive, have a good sense of humour, imaginative, love children and having fun and a challenge and would like to be part of changing children’s lives for the better, whilst being their support network, parent and friend, then this is the job for you. This is a challenging but very rewarding role. You will be expected to follow all policies and procedures, personal plans, Social Care Wales Code of Practice and also be able to use your own judgement. You will be part of a very supportive, qualified and experienced network of people and given all the training you need to support you in the role.

These young people have had a very difficult start in life through no fault of their own and can display unwanted behaviour from being let down so badly. We need dedicated people who can build genuine relationships with the kids and offer them opportunities that they’ve never had whilst following all policies and personal plans.

This includes
- Activities
- having fun
- Supported family contact
- Promoting independence
- Teaching everyday skills
- Therapeutic work to help recover from past trauma
- Supportive team
- Structure, consistency, routine and boundaries
- Excellent policies and procedures
- Personal Plans
- all staff have extensive input in what goes into the plan via monthly review meetings
- Positive behaviour management strategies
- Positi
