Those Huge Small Victories
Our teachers are fulfilled by the idea of making even the smallest positive changes in our young people, so we celebrate the little things. There is lots of ups and downs, and to some of our young people, sitting through a lesson can be a big win. We call these huge, small victories and whilst they may seem small on the surface, they add up to make a big difference.
Get out what you put in.
You will be working with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder/Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. You will be there to help them learn, develop their abilities, and raise their self-esteem. You will need to be resilient and dedicated, but those huge, small victories that you achieve will be something of which you are proud.
It can be a tough journey, but the positive steps forward will more than make up for it. As a Teacher at Witherslack Group, you will get all the support you need to succeed, from in-house psychologists, to teaching assistants and therapy professionals. Your colleagues will be the best at what they do, the school environments will be well-resourced, and we will be with you every step of the way, helping you build a rewarding teaching career.
“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.
