About the Role

At Willow Park School, we believe every young person deserves to feel safe, valued and understood. We support pupils aged 9–16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and associated learning differences. Many of our pupils have experienced disrupted education, trauma and challenges that make trusting adults difficult — which is why our work matters so deeply.

We use a trauma‑informed approach to help pupils move from survival to success. If you are compassionate, resilient and ready to be a steady, trusted presence in a young person’s life, this could be the role where you truly make an impact.
