Safeguarding Coordinator

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Safeguarding Coordinator to join Manchester Enterprise Academy. 

 The ideal candidate will take a lead role within the school for ensuring that the statutory and Local Authority Safeguarding procedures are in place and effectively implemented; to ensure that vulnerable children’s needs are met and that their academic attainment is maintained.

The right candidate will believe that economic disadvantage is a compelling reason to raise expectations rather than a reason to lower them, and will do everything in their power to help our students achieve their full potential.

The role is a full time role working 35 hours per week. The starting pro rata salary based on working 41 weeks per year is £24,262.65. The full time equivalent is £26,975.

Our school is proud to be part of the Prospere Learning Trust. Prospere Learning Trust was formed in September 2017 through the merger of two multi academy trusts. We currently employ over 900 staff and are passionate about providing exceptional education for children from any background so that they become happy, confident adults with excellent academic knowledge and qualifications. We believe that our staff play a vital role in achieving our vision. Great schools thrive because of the great people in them.

You will be joining a dynamic and forward-thinking Trust that works in partnership to ensure outstanding achievement of all children. As an employee of our Trust you will be supported to grow and develop; we are committed to your own professional development.  Your contribution will be recognised and valued but your time will be respected and supported; your wellbeing is important to us.  You will have access to materials which support the development of personal health and wellbeing.

Application procedure: 

Please note we do not accept CVs; applications will only be accepted on the TES application form. References will be applied for at the shortlisting stage. Applications may not be considered if they are incomplete.

The closing date for this role is midnight, Sunday 05 June 2022. Interviews will take place the week commencing 06 June 2022. 

All schools within the Trust are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment.

All applicants must be permitted to work in the UK and hold a relevant work permit where necessary. This is not a role in which the Trust sponsors a visa application. If you have lived or worked outside of the UK in the last 5 years, the Trust will also require additional information in order to comply with safer recruitment requirements. Any job offer will be conditional on the satisfactory completion of the necessary pre-employment checks including receipt of satisfactory references.

At Prospere Learning Trust we are committed to creating a community of belonging. This means we continually celebrate the diverse communities within our schools and the communities we serve. As an equal opportunity employer, we positively welcome applications from all candidates regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.

Please note that we encourage early applications and reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive a high number of applications.
