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’s
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.

You’ll be
working with children and young people with Autistic Spectrum
Disorder/Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. You’ll be there

huge small victories that you achieve will be something you’re
really proud of.

up for it. As a Teacher at Witherslack Group, you’ll get all the
