Senior Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL)

Kettlethorpe High School is the last local authority-maintained high school in Wakefield. We're also the first when it comes to innovation, as we want to deliver a 21st-century education where imaginative teaching creates synergy alongside cutting-edge technology. That is why we are putting a brand-new team together under an ambitious, visionary new Headteacher. It is also why we want you to be our new Senior Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL). We are looking for an experienced safeguarding practitioner with an education or children's services background to lead safeguarding policy and practice within the school and to support the children and families of our school community. You will:

• Be strategically focused on ways to further develop the constantly changing key area of safeguarding within the school.
• Support all staff with areas of safeguarding, including up-to-date training and relevant briefings.
• Have a knowledge and understanding of leading safeguarding across a school/education-based setting.
Closing date: Noon on Friday 16 May 2025. Kettlethorpe High School is an equal opportunities employer. We are committed to safeguarding our pupils and expect all staff, governors and volunteers to share this commitment. Any successful candidates will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
