Associate Link Worker, Link Worker and Hub Lead

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!

West London Zone (soon to be renamed) 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/Hub Lead is based in the school with the CYP 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 CYP 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.
