Description

West London Zone is an early intervention charity.

We help children and young people build the relationships and skills they need to get on track Socially, Emotionally and Academically, believing that by targeting these key areas of development we can empower children to fulfil their potential.

We call this "creating SEA change".

Link Workers work with families, WLZ colleagues, school staff and partner organisations to plan, co
- ordinate and deliver a two-year programme of support for children and young people. WLZ aims for every child to achieve good social and emotional wellbeing and improved academic achievement. We are looking for people who are deeply committed to working with young people and are energetic, empathetic and adaptable. You will be highly motivated, with high standards and expectations for yourself and others.

There are three key components to the Link Worker role:

Build positive and trusted relationships with children, young people and families and develop a detailed understanding of each child on the WLZ programme.
Plan and deliver evidencebased Link Work programmes of support in small groups, and coordinate, manage and quality assure the programme of specialist support delivered by WLZ's partner organisations. Working in close partnership with schools to ensure support complements what is already on offer in the school, and that it runs smoothly and supports children's progress.
Working with local services to ensure families get the additional support they need should they need it and provide opportunities for children and young people to access the range of positive activities on offer in their local area.
