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.

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.

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.

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.
