About the Role
An education provider is looking for a Safeguarding Officer to help protect and support learners across the organisation. You'll act as one of the designated officers, leading on safeguarding, Prevent and student welfare.
You'll handle safeguarding and welfare enquiries as they come in, make sure concerns are addressed promptly and accurately, and provide crisis intervention where it's needed. You'll also work with learners facing additional challenges, helping them build the confidence to access support services independently.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Handling safeguarding and welfare enquiries by email and phone in line with guidelines.
- Supporting high-needs learners, including ESOL learners, young parents and vulnerable adults, to remain on their courses.
- Providing immediate support to ensure young people and vulnerable adults are safe.
- Following up safeguarding incidents in line with legal requirements.
- Working with other teams to ensure smooth transitions and ongoing support for high-needs learners.
- Maintaining accurate electronic records and liaising with parents, staff and external agencies.
- Helping to manage a caseload of learners, assessing risks and coordinating interventions or referrals.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Relevant experience in a safeguarding capacity
- Strong knowledge of safeguarding and Prevent frameworks
- Experience supporting young people in education or community settings
- Excellent communication, organisation and report writing skills
- Availability to start quickly and support from day one
- Full right to work in the UK
If you're ready to make a real difference to the safety and wellbeing of learners, we'd love to hear from you.
