Associate Link Worker/Link Worker (Wigan)

We seek individuals deeply committed to supporting children and young people
(CYP), driven by intrinsic motivation and unwavering standards for themselves and
others. If you resonate with this, we invite you to join our team in Leigh/Atherton/
Greater Wigan!                    
‍
AllChild (formally West London Zone)  is a non-profit organisation that proactively
works with children and their families to flourish socially, emotionally and
academically through our tailored Impact Programme.
‍
Working with schools, we identify and support children and young people before the
need for crisis intervention, connecting them to the help they need through our
trusted adult, the Link Worker.
‍
Our Associate Link Worker/Link Worker is based in the school with the children and
young people they are working with on our programme. They work directly with the
children, their families, their teachers and our partners to design and facilitate a two-
year Impact Programme of support and champion the children and young
people along the way.
‍
Since our launch in 2016, our Impact Programme has helped thousands of children
and young people at the tipping point of need. 75% are no longer at risk in their
emotional and mental wellbeing, two thirds improved their grades, and 90% of
schools renew after the first programme, noting ‘transformational or significant
positive impact’ for the children and the wider school environment.
‍
We are proud to be an employer that puts Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at the core
of all that we do, for the benefit of our employees, our partners, and the communities
that we work with.
We are proud of our diversity and are therefore keen to receive
applications from people who may be under-represented in our AllChild community.
