Sunderland, United Kingdom Witherslack Group Full time

**Those Huge Small Victories**

For children with complex, challenging needs, the level of care and education must go above and beyond. 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 and market leading OFSTED ratings.

There’s a certain kind of person who can build bridges between families in challenging circumstances, the carers working with them and local authorities. As Family Liaison Officer at Witherslack Group, your experience and passion for the role will bring about enhanced life opportunities for families all across the region. Our aspirational homes, schools and ethos help us achieve the best possible outcomes. Our Family Liaison Officers 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**

This is your chance to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of families experiencing educational (and potentially other) difficulties. Supported by a brilliant and dedicated team, you’ll work closely with parents, young people, carers and the local authority to explore the circumstances and see how collaborative, effective, life-changing resolutions can be agreed and put into place. It will also be up to you to coordinate visits to see parents, where you’ll talk at length and work out strategies for coping with whatever life throws at them. Then you’ll draw on your broad knowledge of local resources to help direct them to all the additional support they might need. Not to mention organising and taking part in admission interviews in partnership with the Head Teacher and making sure full and detailed inductions are given.

**One of the best environments in SEND**

You’ll be joining Ashbrooke School, one of the leading SEN settings in the North East. A purpose-built school with specialist classrooms, extensive grounds and sporting facilities, plus a new purpose-built primary provision - Ashbrooke supports young people with ADHD, ASD, SEMH and SLCN and was recently rated Outstanding by Ofsted.

**Bring your whole-self to work**

Our young people come from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds and with different needs - and our workforce reflects that diversity, so that our teams can engage, encourage and inspire our young people to be themselves.

- Previous experience with SEN and with working with families in challenging circumstances and expertise to support and resolve difficulties
- Strong contacts within the local authority, including education, social services and healthcare professionals
- Experience of multi-agency work with an understanding of legislation, policies and guidance around safeguarding and child protection Genuine passion for wanting to enhance the life opportunities for our young people and their families and the ability to be empathetic and understanding
