Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead

4 weeks ago

Doncaster, Doncaster, United Kingdom Astrea Academy Woodfields Full time

Do you want to be part of a team where you will help make a lasting impact on our students, many of whom are disadvantaged, and rapidly accelerate their progress?

The fundamental duty of the post holder is to support the Designated Safeguarding Lead to deliver effective safeguarding procedures, child protection and online safety procedures across the Academy, with the aim of ensuring the safeguarding and welfare of our students is a clear priority.

The purpose of the role is to support the DSL in their leadership of safeguarding, in order to create a strong culture of safeguarding across the Academy. The DDSL will represent the ethos, values, and approach of the Academy to pupils, parents, and staff.

With this as a starting point, the Academy can offer our students, staff and communities the safe, happy, and thriving education setting they deserve.

We are committed to a knowledge-rich curriculum and a traditional approach to teaching, behaviour, and culture. We believe that schools must teach powerful knowledge, 'the best that has been thought and said' and an 'entitlement curriculum' for all. We believe in explicit instruction and have been greatly influenced by Lemov's 'Teach Like A Champion', Rosenshine and recent developments in cognitive science. We believe that the creation of a scholarly culture that is warm and strict, disciplined and joyful, where there is 'purpose not power', ensuring impeccable behaviour, where teachers can focus on teaching and pupils can focus on learning, underpins everything.

We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child's background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special educational need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.

We value our staff highly and treat workload very seriously.

Our systems are high leverage, ensuring you can really focus on your core purpose.

What we offer:

Excellent support from the Astrea Trust Central team Highly visible/supportive senior leaders who have your back Excellent ongoing CPD, career development and promotion opportunities across the Astrea South Yorkshire region An unrivalled professional progression model What we are looking for:

The successful candidate will:

Support the Designated Safeguarding Lead, deputizing for them as required. Acting in the role of the DDSL as outlined in Keeping Children Safe in Education. Support the DSL in developing and maintaining a strong culture of safeguarding across the Academy. Support the DSL in to develop, implement, and supervise appropriate responses to safeguarding and child protection concerns. Establish and maintain effective working partnerships with other agencies and individuals, to increase understanding and awareness of student needs. Encourage a culture of listening to children and taking account of their wishes and feelings in all circumstances which concern them. Interested in applying?

If this is something you are interested in, looking for a new challenge, have a passion for education or maybe all the above, take a look at the Applicant Brief to find out more about the role and how to apply.

This can positively impact a number of entitlements, including increased annual holiday payments which represent an increase in salary. This can be discussed in more detail at interview.
