Summary

Celebrating and Inspiring Children Who Do It Differently is a service funded by Surrey and Borders NHS Trust and offers support to 6-16 year olds living in Surrey, attending a Surrey State School. The Celebrating Service offer their support under the Mindworks Alliance (formerly CAMHS).

The groups run for 5/6 weeks and coincide with Surrey school half terms. Each half term the team are in new schools, so there is a lot of variation over the academic year which provides a fast pace and interesting role.

This is a term-time only role (39 weeks per year) for 21 hours per week, worked on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. These days are fixed as they are when groups are delivered. A full UK driving licence and access to a car are essential, as county-wide travel is required. Sessions can start from 8:30am, and staff are expected to arrive 15 minutes before the start time.

The Celebrating and Inspiring Team has a dedicated admin colleague who liaises with the schools in Surrey to book in groups. There are always two Barnardo's colleagues running the groups, one colleague leads and one colleague supports. The colleague leading the session is responsible for the admin linked to that group. The leading and supporting roles are shared fairly across the team throughout the 5/6 week rotations. Full training is provided to ensure you are confident with the admin and leading our sessions. Our sessions are planned following our programme and scope of work, however the team work together to create meaningful developments as required following team meetings and ensuring the voice of the child is factored in to developments of our sessions and aims.

Mileage can be claimed for business travel beyond your normal commute to the team's hub in Leatherhead. To claim mileage, you must have business car insurance covering travel between multiple work locations. Support can be provided to arrange this. A laptop and mobile phone will be provided.
