Safeguarding
Officer

Please note
that this role is based at our Paston and Easton sites primarily, with some
limited travel to Norwich.

Are you a
passionate safeguarding professional committed to making a positive difference
in the lives of young people?

We are seeking
an experienced and highly motivated individual to join our Wellbeing and Safeguarding team and
play a key role in promoting the safety, wellbeing and success of our students.

The successful
candidate will bring substantial experience in safeguarding and child
protection, ideally gained within a social work, education or related setting.
You will work collaboratively as part of a multi-disciplinary Wellbeing team,
providing support to students and, where appropriate, making referrals to
Children’s and Adult Social Care and other specialist services.

This is an
exciting opportunity for an exceptional communicator who thrives in partnership
working. You will build strong relationships with colleagues, students and
external agencies, taking a lead role in multi-agency working to ensure the
best possible outcomes for young people.

The role
requires excellent organisational and administrative skills, with the ability
to manage a busy and varied caseload, maintain accurate records and coordinate
support effectively. A keen eye for detail, sound professional judgement and
the ability to prioritise competing demands are essential.

In return, you
will join a supportive and dedicated team, working in a rewarding environment
where your expertise will have a direct impact on students’ lives.

Key
requirements:

• Extensive experience in
  safeguarding and child protection.
• A relevant professional
  qualification.
• Excellent communication and
  interpersonal skills.
• Experience of working effectively
  with multi-agency partners.
• Strong organisational skills and
  attention to detail.
• Confidence in managing sensitive
  information and maintaining accurate records.
• A commitment to improving outcomes
  for children, young people and vulnerable adults.

Please note
that some occasional evening work (for example a case where a referral has been
in progress during the day and runs on after 5pm) will be required as part of
this role.

please contact Helen Richardson-Hulme, Vice Principal Inclusion Safeguarding
and Student Services. Please email helen.richardson-hulme@ccn.ac.uk in the
