Safeguarding Officer

If successful, you will work as part of a supportive pastoral team but will lead on all issues related to Safeguarding and Child Protection, be required to attend multi-agency meetings and represent the school within the community and Local Authority as a highly-respected professional member of the Falinge team. In addition, you will also lead on the PREVENT agenda with the Assistant Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher for Inclusion. We have a far-reaching pastoral system where teams work together, in an inquiry-based approach, in order to break down barriers to opportunity. As our Safeguarding Officer you will help us negotiate the best support for our children and families and support the DSL in case work across the school. This is an important role within our school which we are hoping will attract candidates who are committed to the safeguarding of young people and who have the skills and talents to support them and their families.

The role itself will be one of two Safeguarding Officers within Falinge Park High School and the successful candidates will be directly responsible to Associate Assistant Headteacher (DSL). What the school offers its staff Why work for us?
