Working alongside the trust senior leaders to provide the strategic oversight of safeguarding nationally, you will ensure that all schools have effective processes to identify, help and manage systems to support our most vulnerable young people.
If you have a passion for supporting young people and experience of leading safeguarding, often dealing with complex cases, then this is a great opportunity to impact schools and young people nationally.
