A Social Worker, Team Manager or Child Protection professional with extensive safeguarding expertise.
A safeguarding leader within a Multi-Academy Trust or another education organisation.

You'll bring:

Significant safeguarding experience within education, children's services or a related safeguarding environment.
Excellent knowledge of statutory safeguarding guidance, including Keeping Children Safe in Education and working together to Safeguard Children..
Experience working collaboratively with multi-agency partners.
The ability to analyse information, identify risk and provide clear, evidence-based advice.
The credibility and confidence to coach, influence and constructively challenge senior leaders.
A calm, compassionate and collaborative approach to supporting schools through complex safeguarding situations.

Above all, you'll be someone who believes that safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and who is passionate about making a lasting difference to the lives of children and young people.
