Job overview
Willow Green is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with the Charities Commission. Our purpose is to empower young people with special educational needs and disabilities to participate fully in society as independent, mature, and responsible individuals. We do this through bespoke development programmes based on an individual's needs and aspirations that provide a foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing.
Our Values
* Our staff team inspire our learners to be stronger and more confident young adults. We share our determination to succeed and encourage our learners to be ambitious in their choices. We empower our learners by providing them with the tools needed to pursue these choices and control their own future.
* We provide a nurturing environment where our learners feel cared for and respected. Our team encourage our learners to be kind and caring towards each other and role-model this behaviour themselves.
* We are proud to be a fully inclusive college, and this is demonstrated by:
o Valuing all learners and staff equally
o Reducing barriers to learning for all
o Recognising that inclusion in education is one aspect of inclusion in the whole of society.
Our Programmes
* Learners focus on essential and transferrable, work, economic, social and life skills which will enable increased independence and self-determination.
* Our ambition is for all our learners to develop the skills and knowledge needed to progress towards employment and reach their maximum potential.
* When learners leave Willow Green, they will have gained experience, knowledge and skills needed to achieve their goals and succeed in the working world. They will know more, remember more, and be able to apply more, meaning that they can do and achieve more. We will enable our learners to learn, think and act more independently.
We are looking to appoint a Business Manager, who can deliver the core functions of the role whilst also inspiring and motivating the team around them.
