We are seeking a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead to join our Safeguarding and Wellbeing Team, playing a vital role in promoting and safeguarding the welfare of our students. Working closely with the Safeguarding and Wellbeing Manager, you will support our most vulnerable learners through direct work, multi-agency liaison, and proactive safeguarding education.
