Safeguarding Lead

We believe that this is a unique opportunity to serve a local community who value and hold our schools and our trust in high regard for the work that it does. The work of our schools is critical to helping lift aspirations in the local area but by also creating opportunities for our young people to flourish. Above all you will be committed to our three values of Ambition, Inclusion and Integrity, demonstrating these in your work throughout. As the Director of Primary and Trust Safeguarding Lead, you will also be part of the UoLAT Executive Team and will play a critical part in the strategic direction of the trust and all of its schools, helping to drive change and have genuine influence at scale. There are lots of great staff to support the journey for improvement. The successful candidate will bring a strong understanding of assurance mechanisms, safeguarding experience and a desire to help accelerate outcomes by supporting staff development across all levels. This is what our staff and our pupils deserve. The successful candidate will be able to lead teams and develop wider relationships too. We hope that we will be able to grow in the primary sector as we move forward whilst safeguarding all our pupils. The successful applicant will play a critical part in that development, by demonstrating that our schools are doing well and that we have developed the capacity of our teams, and their skills, to help support others in a meaningful way as part of that system leadership.
