Job Opportunity
This is a fixed-term maternity cover opportunity for an experienced safeguarding practitioner to join the Corporate Safeguarding Team. Whilst working within an integrated all-age safeguarding service, the post holder will predominantly support the children’s safeguarding function, providing expert advice, support, supervision, and training across acute and community services. The role contributes to the Trust's statutory safeguarding responsibilities and promotes positive outcomes for children, young people, and their families.
Role Requirements
We are looking for an experienced practitioner who is currently working within a safeguarding setting, either in an all-age safeguarding role or one focused on children or adults at risk. Applicants with experience in either area are encouraged to apply; however, the successful candidate will be expected to develop and maintain expertise in safeguarding children and child protection to support the primary focus of this role.
The adult and children’s safeguarding teams are based at Stoke Mandeville Hospital but have responsibility for working with acute and community services provided, which will therefore require travel trustwide.
