  • Collaborate with Student Experience and Services and other departments for a unified approach to safeguarding.
  • Engage in safeguarding communications, record keeping, and reporting.
  • Contribute to quality assurance of safeguarding practices through College board reports and local authority audits.

Your efforts will contribute to creating a safe and supportive environment for all students, working in tandem with the Safeguarding Manager and student experience/services teams to provide a comprehensive approach to safeguarding.

ABOUT YOU

  • Excellent verbal and written communication, as well as skills in maintaining appropriate relationships and boundaries.
  • GCSE grade A*-C / 9-4 or equivalent in English and Maths.
