4 months ago


London, Greater London, United Kingdom SSAFA Full time

At SSAFA Safeguarding is everybody's business. This means that as awareness grows and with it the demand for additional support from those supporting our beneficiaries, we need to ensure the right level of support across the charity for those dealing with complex situations involving safeguarding concerns. We are therefore looking for an experienced social worker to work with our Head of Safeguarding and Social Work Services as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) and help develop our response to Safeguarding concerns across the organisation.

In addition to this we would like the successful individual to provide social work support to our Stepping Stone's home on a regular basis, supporting those women and children who have survived Domestic Abuse to move forward with their lives.

Your key responsibilities will include;

  • Working with the Head of Safeguarding and Social Work Services to manage safeguarding issues raised within SSAFA or related to its work, and ensure the appropriate recording of concerns, decision making and referrals.
  • Providing expert advice to the Organisation, employees and volunteers ensuring best practice in embedded into all new and existing policy and guidance.
  • Ensuring that the Safeguarding Policy is adhered to across the organisation.
  • Undertaking audits across the organisation into safeguarding practice and making recommendations based on the outcomes.
  • Providing social work support to the beneficiaries of our Stepping Stones refuge, including maintaining case records and regular reports to the Director of Social Care Operations.

    About the team

    You will become part of the Social Care Operations Directorate, reporting directly to the Head of Safeguarding and Social Work and working alongside other parts of SSAFA's specialist services, all of who are dedicated to ensuring that the Armed Forces, veterans and their families can thrive.

    About you

    We are looking for an experienced social worker ready to take on a new and varied role within SSAFA. Ideally with experience of working within Domestic Abuse and/or Safeguarding and with knowledge of the legislation, policies, and best practices related to these areas.

    You will also need excellent communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills, as well as a positive, flexible, and creative approach to problem-solving.

    About SSAFA

    SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is a trusted source of support for serving personnel, veterans and their families in their time of need. In 2022 our trained teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 59,000 people, including veterans, serving personnel (regulars and reserves) and their families.

    SSAFA understands that behind every uniform is a person. And we are here for that person and their family, any time they need us and in any way, they need us.

    Diversity and Inclusion at SSAFA

    SSAFA exists to support a diverse range of beneficiaries within the armed forces community, and we believe diversity within our teams is key to ensuring we can deliver our services effectively. We thrive on differences and believe it is critical to our success as a worldwide charity. SSAFA is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace that seeks to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We therefore encourage applications from all genders, races, religions, ages and sexual orientations, as well as parents, veterans, people living with disabilities, and any other groups that could bring diverse perspectives to our business.

    SSAFA is committed to using the Disclosure & Barring Service to ensure we, as an employer, safeguard those we serve.
