This is a key role within the Diocesan Safeguarding Team, providing operational leadership, oversight and professional guidance to support effective safeguarding practice across the Diocese, including the deaneries of Jersey and Guernsey in the Channel Islands.
Working closely with the Director of Safeguarding, you will lead and oversee the team’s casework, supporting colleagues to respond effectively to safeguarding concerns, manage complex cases and assess and mitigate risk. You will contribute to the development of safeguarding practice, strengthen quality assurance and monitoring, and support the implementation of Church of England safeguarding policies and procedures.
You will also help promote a positive safeguarding culture across the Diocese, embedding trauma-informed practice and working collaboratively with churches, vicars, senior diocesan leaders and statutory agencies. When required, you will deputise for the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer, providing confident leadership, advice and professional judgement.
