About

Sparkles has a dual role:

 

1. To provide stress free professional cleaning.

 

2. To provide secure employment to individuals in difficult circumstances.

Sparkles is privileged to work with many organisations to give training and employment opportunities to individuals who would otherwise find difficult to work.
We pride ourselves in understanding what matters to you and helping you with this. We use this same approach with our amazing teams – we believe we should make it as easy as possible for people to do their job well, and we work hard with our teams to achieve this.

Sparkles offers training to employees to ensure that they are ‘Job Ready’ especially to those who have been out of employment for long periods of time. We are proud to say that we work closely with Cardiff City Council, Cardiff Adult Learning, The Hubs in Cardiff, PACE, The ESOL Teams and many other organisations regarding training and recruitment.

As an Adult Mentor for the Communities for Work Programme, I support members of the
community aged 25 plus into training and Employment. Based in the West of Cardiff, Ely/Caerau
Hub. My caseload consists of individuals that may have not been employed for many years. From
the point of Engagement individuals could present as feeling very negative about their lives. Some
could have very limited communication skills, low self-esteem, low aspirations and many had given
up on ever achieving qualifications, let alone employment opportunities. The benefits of partnership
working with Sparkles, using a Community based approach, offering continuous 1:1 support,
encouragement, and skill building, has provided individuals the opportunities to grow emotionally,
expand their knowledge and skills and reach their end goals of gaining employment, with the
knowledge that they have on going support. In turn this has maximised results for the Local
community and Employment opportunities.
