Introducing Jim, our Recruitment and Training Manager.
He’s been with Social Care Services Group for over 20 years, overseeing the progression and development of some of our longest serving employees alongside our newest recruits.
With another run of training coming up, Jim has shared some insights into the course:
“In June I’ll be training our newest employees under the Therapeutic Crisis Intervention system (or TCI for short) which is essential for the wellbeing of both our staff and young people in care.
Over 3 weeks, the training gives our employees the tools they need to support young people with emotional competence, recognising triggers and early interventions for dealing with vulnerable children.
Using innovative role plays, we run through a number of scenarios that our employees may come across within their roles and ensure they’re confidently able to support children and help them to learn new coping strategies.”
That’s the training aspect of his role covered, we also asked Jim about recruitment, and what it is he looks for in a prospective candidate:
“Half of my job as recruiter is recognising potential in applicants.
We’re looking for enthusiasm, a sense of humour and someone who is prepared for the amazing and often difficult challenge of working with children in care”
