Experience what we do

Achieve great things with us

It all adds up here at WG

For our children and young people, just 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 by the time they leave us for life beyond our living and learning environments.

It's a tough journey, but the positive steps forward will more than make up for it. At Witherslack Group, you'll get all the support in the world to help you succeed. Your colleagues will be the best at what they do, the living and learning environments will be the most well-resourced on the planet, and we'll be with you every step of the way, helping you to build a rewarding career with a real purpose.

We believe that our young people deserve the best possible future and we feel the same about our staff.  You deserve to have the career you want and we believe that we can offer that and more.

From day one we want you to feel like you belong and that this is a place where you can achieve and succeed.  We want you to feel more than just job satisfaction, we want you to experience a sense of belonging, purpose and value.   Our new starters tell us that the support network that welcomes them and the buddy system that is in place really makes a huge difference during their first steps in the role.

Realise your ambition

Once you are part of our Group, the question will be where do you want to take us? 

We will provide training and development opportunities that allow you to flourish in your role, realising your own ambitions whilst at the same time inspiring our young people to be equally ambitious.  We will treat you as an individual, we will get to know you and we will do everything we can to support you so that your talents, skills and energy make the biggest impact possible.

Rewards and recognition

We will reward you with a competitive salary, an ever-growing range of benefits and an ethos that supports striking the right work-life balance.  Equally importantly, we will recognise you for those efforts, perseverance and ‘above and beyond’ moments that we see each and every day across our Group.  Whether that be via our annual Staff Awards, our recognition initiatives, or by simply treating you as a person and acknowledging the contribution you make one on one, we never want to be complacent in showing how we feel about our people.

Accelerate your career

When the time is right, we have a range of career progression options for staff.  We want to celebrate the expertise and skills we have across the Group, and accelerate your career development with us, whatever that looks like for you.  We are proud that many of our Head Teachers and Home Managers have been developed from within, meaning that our values, beliefs and standards are continually reinforced and built upon further.

Like every journey, there are challenges, tough times and maybe moments of doubt.  Our work is not easy but support, teamwork, empathy and experience are shared constantly across all areas of our Group.  It means we stick together, work together and succeed together.  

About us

Moments of magic

Our staff say time and time again that everything is worth it for those moments of magic when the breakthroughs happen and a childhood suddenly turns in a new direction.  As we said before though, we don’t just want this for our young people, we want this for you too.  We want to create amazing moments of achievement, reward and fulfilment for all of our staff.  We want you to have the career you dreamed of, feel part of something bigger than the sum of its parts, and to have the opportunity to put your talents and effort to something that means so much.
