We have another Employee Of The Month! Emma!
We, and the children we care for are so grateful for all you do. Thank you ☺️
Here’s what Emma had to say about working with us here at
1. What do you do on a daily basis at ICS?
I focus on bringing consistent, quality care to the young people I support. I like to feel after every shift I’ve made a difference to the children we support no matter how small, and try to make there time with us feel as normal as possible!
2. What’s the best part of your job?
The best part of my job is witnessing the small, daily victories . Winning this award is amazing, but the real reward is seeing the children I work with achieve something they’ve been working on, or simply knowing I’ve helped make their day better or easier. I love building that trust and connection. When a child feels comfortable and confident because of the support I provide, that’s truly the highlight of my job.
3. What motivates you?
My biggest motivation is the resilience and potential of the children themselves. They inspire me every day, I also feel very motivated by the positive culture at ICS. Knowing we are all working together to achieve great outcomes for these young people pushes me to maintain high standards and finding ways to make a positive impact.
4. What advice would you give someone wanting to work in care?
I would tell them to come prepared with patience, and a great sense of humor, It’s a wonderful job, but it requires flexibility and energy. My advice is Always look to understand the child’s perspective—ask why they might be acting a certain way. And remember to look after yourself, because being consistent and positive for the children starts with being well yourself!
