Support schools and settings to safeguard and protect the welfare of children
Contribute expert knowledge to safeguarding practice for key groups of vulnerable children
Shape and deliver the vision, strategy and business plans for the Education Safeguarding Service, engaging staff, schools, partners and stakeholders to ensure a consistent, high‑quality safeguarding response.
Develop and maintain strong systems, policies, procedures, and management information to support continuous improvement and excellent service delivery.
Provide professional expertise, advice and guidance to schools, leaders, and multi‑agency partners across Birmingham.
Lead, motivate and support staff within the Education Safeguarding Service to achieve strong performance, positive culture, and high standards.

Significant leadership experience in safeguarding within education, social care, or local government.
Deep knowledge of statutory safeguarding duties, child protection processes, and multi‑agency working within an education environment
Strong relationship‑building skills, with the ability to influence partners, provide constructive challenge, and promote a culture of safety and learning.
