Whether in one of our residential children's homes, nursery, afterschool club or school holiday club, Camp Williams, safeguarding is in our DNA. We also operate accommodation for young people age 16+ which is soon to be regulated by Ofsted so now is the time to have a dedicated focus on this area where we can look to consolidate best practice, ensure all our of services are safeguarded to the highest standards and evolve inline with recommendation and legislation.

On a day to day basis, you can expect your role to include:

- To be the main point of contact across YMCA Robin Hood Group and to ensure that service users are safeguarded and protected at all times.
- To lead and manage safeguarding and compliance, ensuring that appropriate strategies, practice standards, policies, and procedures are in place to ensure the effective delivery of services.
- To work autonomously within professional guidelines and lead any organisational response to multi-agency and single agency case reviews.
- To ensure that service-user rights are respected and upheld, and to explain their views and needs to help to make decisions.

We are looking for someone with previous demonstrable experience in a safeguarding role who can bring an understanding of safeguarding and the relevant legislation who has the experience to appraise, evaluate and strenghten our current processes.

Personally, you will be values driven and highly motivated to make a difference to our local communities, ensuring our residents, looked after children and other service users can belong, contribute and thrive. You will be a brilliant communicator who is a trusted source of advice and guidance on policies and process with a detailed approach and the ability to interpret legislation and make it accessible for all.

Your non-judgemental stand point will ensure a fair and consistent approach is taken. You will able to demonstrable a track record of ensuring and influencing staff to understand policies and processes and be confident to deliver training and workshops where required.

You will also have excellent written communication skills including the ability to write clear reports, articles, and letters for a wide range of audiences in a range of formats. With excellent time management and prioritisation skills you will be able to manage demands from across the organisation with the ability and desire to roll up sleeves, be involved in day-to-day activities, be approachable and act as a role model and ambassador for all our organisations.

Being based in either our Nottingham or Newark offices, you will travel across our group locations, providing support where required, managing your own diary. We really value face to face contact as this builds the solid relationship between colleagues that we value but also appreciate the benefit of working from home. On average, you would be able to work from home one day a week.
