Lancashire, United Kingdom Witherslack Group Full time

**Changing Lives, Building Futures**

Our vision is simple, but it is a fundamental part of our mission to make a positive difference in our children’s lives. We are looking for that special person that has the necessary patience, resilience, and energy to make the difference for our pupils. All our staff are passionate about this, and we hope you are too.

**New Beginnings**

Cedar House is well-placed to provide a new ‘sense of belonging’ for young people. We pride ourselves on achieving this as quickly as possible. When everyone adopts this approach, we help pupils to feel safe, secure and, most importantly, significant within our school community. Many of our children have NEVER had this feeling before and it is vital that we reverse the negative downward spiral of adverse experiences within previous schools.

**Relationships are key.**

You’ll be working with children and young people with a variety of special educational needs which include social, emotional, and mental health, autism spectrum conditions, dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and other associated learning difficulties. Our approach is positive and flexible to meet all the needs of our children as if they were our own. We want the best for our pupils, and we see beyond the labels and negative assumptions from the past.

**Those Huge Small Victories**

For children with complex, challenging needs, the level of care and education must go above and beyond and that’s what drives us here at Witherslack Group. With our high staff-to-child ratio and in-house clinical teams, we’re proud to have won a reputation for excellence. Our aspirational homes, schools and ethos help us achieve the best possible outcomes. In short, we’re enhancing life opportunities. Our Designated Safeguarding Leads are a huge part of making sure our children and young people’s needs are fully recognised and comprehensively met.

**Get out what you put in.**

You will work as part of Cedar House School’s Leadership Team and report directly to the Head Teacher for this crucial role. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with other members of the Witherslack Group team in different locations to enable you to progress and develop your skills and knowledge. As a Designated Safeguarding Lead at Cedar House School, you will take responsibility for safeguarding within the school, this means that daily you will be liaising with statutory and non-statutory agencies, parents/carers, and staff on matters of wellbeing, child protection and safeguarding and will be a great source of support, advice, and expertise in the team.

**“Changing Lives, Building Futures” - We really do make a difference at Cedar House School**

Enabling young people to progress and succeed is part of the DNA of our integrated education, care, and clinical team and this is achieved by a commitment to truly celebrating the individuality and talents of every young person.

The primary provision provides a nurturing environment which along with extensive therapeutic support allows a seamless transition to a secondary school that boasts a broad curriculum and far-ranging vocational offer. In addition, the state-of-the-art residential offering enables those young people who reside at the school to benefit from the 24-hour curriculum, while living in a truly homely and personalised environment.

The result is that each young person develops the skills and confidence to achieve both academic and life successes, where they are given the launchpad to realise their potential and leave ready to live life to the full. We were recently recognised as Good in Education and Outstanding for our Residential provision.

**What we do for you**
