Salary: £31,025 (FTE £35,955)

Hours: 37.5 hours per week

Term-time only plus 5 inset days

We are seeking to appoint an experienced safeguarding professional who is dedicated to supporting our students and becoming a valued member of our safeguarding team here at The Regis School. We would be excited to hear from you if you have experience of working within safeguarding in an educational setting, or in a comparable role with transferable safeguarding responsibilities, and are committed to actively promoting the safety and welfare of all students. You will maintain a vigilant and proactive approach to safeguarding at all times.

You would work in close partnership with the Senior Safeguarding Lead and designated year group safeguarding leads to manage and respond to safeguarding concerns. This role involves providing expert advice and support to the safeguarding team, maintaining effective communication with the Local Authority, and collaborating with a range of external agencies. The post holder will also be responsible for making appropriate referrals in line with statutory guidance and organisational procedures. Experience of leading safeguarding practices and supporting the welfare of children and young people with SEND, neurodiversity, social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), or additional vulnerabilities would be particularly advantageous.

At The Regis School, we enjoy building positive relationships with young people in a culture of high expectations, strong discipline, and a determination to achieve 'The Best in Everyone' through limitless ambition. We role model our school values and ethos, ensuring our students thrive and flourish both within and beyond school life.

We offer a highly competitive benefits package, including excellent pay, a generous pension scheme, enhanced parental leave, reduced gym membership for our on-site facilities, discounted nursery fees, a laptop, and access to a car leasing scheme. After six months, staff also benefit from Westfield Benefits, providing discounts on shopping, travel, and holidays, as well as a free Health Cash Plan covering dental, optical, and other treatments.

Above all, we are committed to ensuring our staff feel valued, supported, and empowered. We offer more pay, more time, and more support-including three additional INSET days for planning, a guaranteed personal day each year, exceptional training and career development, and a culture that genuinely invests in its people.
