Initially based at City of Derby Academy, you will take a lead role in strengthening safeguarding practice, systems, and compliance, working closely with school leaders to embed consistency and drive continuous improvement.

Working alongside the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), you will:

  • Identify, assess, and respond to safeguarding and welfare concerns
  • Manage and support complex and sensitive safeguarding cases
  • Work closely with families, external agencies, and professionals
  • Ensure all safeguarding concerns are recorded, tracked, and acted upon 

As the progresses, you will contribute to a Trust-wide safeguarding approach, supporting schools to deliver high-quality, consistent, and effective practice across all settings.

Who We're Looking For

Highly organised and thoughtful in your approach, you will be able to make sound, informed decisions and maintain accurate, high-quality records. Above all, you will be motivated by a genuine passion for creating safe, inclusive environments where every child can succeed and flourish.

Why us?

As part of our Trust, you’ll benefit from: 

  • A supportive network of professionals who share your commitment to excellence 
  • High-quality professional development and career progression opportunities  
  • A caring, inclusive organisation that values staff wellbeing and work–life balance  
  • Access to a range of employee benefits designed to promote health and wellbeing  

This is your chance to be part of something special.  Help us shape the future and make a lasting impact.
