Due to an exciting period of growth, we are looking for an experienced Designated Safeguarding Lead to join us as our National Safeguarding Advisor.
This role involves working closely with our (Safeguarding) Regional Advisory Board (RAB) leaders and our Director of Safeguarding to deliver our Trust Safeguarding Strategy.

In return you will receive excellent support and development and will have the opportunity to really make a difference to the schools that you work with.
You will benefit from:
- high quality professional development
- regular training to develop your skills and knowledge
- a tailored induction programme to meet your needs and ongoing support from an experienced and skilled team
In addition to the opportunities for training and development, we also offer a competitive rewards and benefits package. As an employee you will have access to:
- Local Government Pension Scheme
- The Perkbox platform that brings employee benefits, discounts, wellbeing, and staff recognition
- Access to Employee Assistance Scheme provided by Health Assured
- Bike2Work Scheme - where you can save up to 42% on the cost of bicycles and/or equipment
