Child Safeguarding Exploitation Lead

Westminster, United Kingdom City of Westminster Council Full time

**About Us**:
**THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF SHOFA’S MARKET**

Children’s Services in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where courageous and inspiring professionals bring everything to their work.

Sometimes this even includes heartbreak. Shofa is a shining example. Shofa’s brother suffered with his mental health and died tragically young. She uses his memory as motivation to give Westminster Youth Council members the opportunity to have a voice and get involved in decision making. This passion resulted in in her innovation: The Westminster Youth Market. Here local teenagers learn about entrepreneurship and develop their personal skills. This is an inclusive platform where everyone’s contribution and abilities are celebrated. Inspired by a promising life cut short, Shofa believes without vision there is no direction and every young person should be supported to realise their dreams.

Please view the extraordinary story of Shofa’s Market **here**.

**The Role**:
As Child Safeguarding Exploitation Lead, you can make your own powerful contribution to the lives of vulnerable children and their families. We are passionate about keeping children and young people at the heart of everything we do. So you can be assured you’ll have the resources and support you need to be a champion of safeguarding for those who are Looked After or in need of protection.

Providing expert guidance, support and advice, you’ll make sure we collaborate effectively with young people, families and agencies to assess risk and develop the right care plans. We’ll look to you to drive frontline teams and our multi-agency partners to establish and support effective safety plans. Building strong working relationships across our wide safeguarding partnership, you will hold practitioners and professionals to account.

You will be an integral member of our Children’s Services Safeguarding Review & Quality Assurance Service. Committed to achieving the best outcomes for children and young people, you understand the level of ongoing development this requires. With a focus on creating a culture of high performance, you’ll proactively support practitioners who work with children and families. Working closely with our team of child protection advisers, you’ll drive continuous learning and put improvements into action. You’ll also make valuable contributions to a range of innovation, operational and strategic projects.

In return for your dedication, you can expect us to enable and promote your innovative ideas. Training and line management support is a cornerstone of our practice, to ensure every practitioner has the knowledge, skills and guidance to help make positive change happen.

Please refer to the **Job Description** **for more information.

**About You**:
A qualified, experienced and confident social work lead or manager, you’ll bring to the role an excellent knowledge of relevant legislation and statutory frameworks. Thanks to your proven track record of working with children who are Looked After and Care Leavers, you are ready to constructively challenge colleagues, partner agencies and senior management on matters of safeguarding.

Naturally, this will call for exceptional communication and influencing skills, including the ability to chair complex meetings and conferences. We also expect you to demonstrate a flair for managing a complex workload by balancing organisational and service-led demands.

**What We Offer**:
Westminster is an amazing place. We are home to over 250,000 residents from all backgrounds, over 50,000 vibrant and vital businesses and three-quarters-of-a-million people work in Westminster. Westminster City Council’s strategy is to work towards a Fairer Westminster. A Fairer Westminster is one in which our communities are at the heart of our decision-making and help to determine the city’s future. By working directly with our communities and other partners, we can build a more inclusive city that celebrates our diverse communities, and where residents, workers and visitors from all backgrounds will feel welcome and safe.

As a forward-thinking Council we appreciate that people work in different ways, therefore our staff benefit from working a range of flexible working patterns as well as Agile working.
