Job overview
Stonyhurst understands, accepts and believes that every member of our school community places safeguarding children and young people at risk at the heart of all they do.
Stonyhurst's policy reflects our Jesuit philosophy, Magis. We seek to do more for Christ in serving and protecting the most vulnerable within our community. Therefore, everyone who comes into contact with children and young people has a role to play. This means that they should consider, at all times, what is in the best interests of the child. We recognise that no single practitioner/agency can have a full picture of a child’s needs and circumstances. If children and families are to receive the right help at the right time, everyone who comes into contact with them has a role to play in identifying concerns, sharing information and taking prompt action. The Safeguarding team works closely with local, national and international safeguarding partners to offer advice and support to the wider Stonyhurst community.
We are recruiting for an Assistant Head Cross Campus Designated Safeguarding Lead to join the Stonyhurst Safeguarding team.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early should we receive a high volume of suitable applicants.

About Stonyhurst
Stonyhurst College is the UK’s leading Catholic co-educational boarding and day school for pupils aged 3-18. Boarding is from the age of 7.
At the College, there are approximately 498 pupils aged 13-18, two thirds of whom are boarders. At Stonyhurst St Mary’s Hall, the adjacent dedicated preparatory school, there are around 240 pupils aged 3-13. Stonyhurst is set in stunning countryside, near the Ribble and Hodder rivers and the beautiful Trough of Bowland. Manchester is only about an hour away by road or rail. The market town of Clitheroe is four miles away, and we are 12 miles from the city of Preston. The Lake District can be reached in about an hour, and the Yorkshire Dales are even closer.
Stonyhurst has a fascinating heritage, being the oldest continuously active Jesuit school in the world.
It was founded in St Omer, Northern France (then the Spanish Netherlands), in 1593, and moved to its present site in Lancashire’s beautiful Ribble Valley in 1794. Throughout the years of religious
persecution in England, Stonyhurst educated the boys of the English Catholic aristocracy and gentry.
The College’s Ignatian mission and identity, and its sense of family, set Stonyhurst apart from other schools. Pupils are urged to do as much as they can (Quant Je Puis) for other people following the example of Jesus Christ and following in the spirit and charism of the Jesuits. The College prepares young people to change the world for others.
Stonyhurst is a family where heritage and innovation are fused to inspire young people to be agents of change in the world.
