Sydney Care offers semi-independent care for 16 – 18-year-old children. We are noted specialists in the care service for individuals who are at risk to themselves or others including ex-offenders or children with complex needs. Our staff and home units can provide an environment to contain complex behaviour and carry out the tail end of ex-offender rehabilitation. We operate and deliver a measurable approach to the care service with individual cases. Our trained and experienced staff monitor and report on self-development targets on a weekly basis through our snapshot reports.

Our care service is deeply integrated into learning and training – keeping our individuals busy with a defined career direction. Our stakeholder relationships are competent and detailed. Information advice and guidance offered by designated staff is an ongoing process even when residents leave their homes as fully independent individuals.

Education or training towards a career while in our care is of great importance to the development plan we offer. we find in most cases a troubled or offending past occurs amongst youth who have no picture of what the future has in stock for them. There is a lack of motivation to train, educate or learn a skill that brings about disruptive or rebellious behaviour.

At Sydney Care, we introduce a robust system that identifies affinity, hidden talents, and inherent skills to work out the most viable options to access learning towards a set of career goals. Our staff involved in this aspect of our care are experienced and skilled with the know-how in setting up and striving towards agreed goals.

The IAG manager at Sydney Care offers a basic and intermediary computer learning course similar to ECDL and works in close contact with external educational provisions to offer our clients complete access to a career-led form of training and education. The IAG officer is also experienced in employer engagement supporting or mentoring our clients into progressive employment with a 2 – 5 year plan. PEPs are created with the full involvement of Sydney Care and various arms of social care.
