Safeguarding Support Officer

The successful candidate will work in partnership with the existing Safeguarding Manager, Safeguarding Support Officer, the College and other key agency staff to deliver key outcomes for students through a range of integrated support and services.

You will need to be able to work collaboratively and flexibly and build good relationships with both students and staff, demonstrating a respectful and caring attitude towards everyone in school. Experience of working with children in a school environment and having the appropriate literacy and numeracy skills to support students are essential.
