Background Information
Willow Green is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with the Charities Commission. The core values of fostering a nurturing environment that supports learners, empowering them to reach their ambitious life goals is echoed throughout all that we do at Willow Green.
Our mission is that, through a strong knowledge-base, and practical programmes we can work together to create an environment that empowers, enabling all to participate fully in society as independent, mature, and responsible individuals.
Willow Green aims to further the lives of young people with SEND through high quality, bespoke development programmes based on their individual needs and aspirations. Our programmes provide a foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing. Learners focus on essential and transferrable, work, economic, social and life skills which will enable increased independence and self-determination.
We are proud to be a fully inclusive college, and this is demonstrated by:
· Valuing all learners and staff equally
· Reducing barriers to learning for all
· Recognising that inclusion in education is one aspect of inclusion in the whole of society.
When learners come to leave our service, they will have gained the knowledge and confidence to succeed. They know more, can remember and apply more, meaning that they can do and achieve more.
Our Adult Social Care Tutor will be responsible for the efficient and effective running of an Adult Social Care cohort.
You are required to develop coherently planned and sequenced curriculum maps aligned to the chosen qualification specifications, providing learners with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed at Willow Green and in life.
You monitor, track and record the individual progress of the learners against their SMART Targets. Evidence gathered is used to measure progress against the commissioned contracts with Adult Social Care.
