Job description
This innovative and exciting safeguarding officer role will build on our current provision to collaborate on safeguarding across several church denominations to ensure a safe, relevant and caring Church safeguarding environment for all. You would be working for Churches Alive in Mann (CAiM) as part of their ecumenical partnership, providing safeguarding support and services for the four denominations who are the lead contributing partners in this initiative (Roman Catholic Church, Church of England, Methodist Church and the Living Hope Community Church).
The ideal candidate will have:
* A relevant professional qualification or the equivalent (for example, in social care or criminal justice), with current professional registration where applicable.
* The ability to transfer good safeguarding practice to a non-statutory organisation, working with colleagues from a non-safeguarding background and achieve good safeguarding outcomes in that context.
* Experience in developing effective new ways of working for an organisation.
* Experience in cases involving the protection and safeguarding of children and/or adults, with at least some of that experience gained in a statutory agency.
* Experience of working with victims, survivors and perpetrators of abuse.
