Safeguarding Administrator

We are committed to the highest standards of safeguarding, supporting victims and survivors of abuse; and creating a positive safeguarding culture in every Church and worshipping community in every corner of our diocese.

Our safeguarding team, in its current form have only been together for 14 months, in fact, we all started on the same day! We are therefore a team in development and are constantly exploring new ways of working and finding new challenges to work through. Our current administrator is reducing his hours to focus on specific projects in our team and so we are looking for a new safeguarding administrator who aspires to become the ‘backbone’ of our team, by having a kind , ‘can do’ attitude.

Our new Administrator will support our safeguarding projects, plans and day to day tasks; and will also have a supporting role to our wider diocesan central offices administration team.

• Being a warm welcoming, supportive and informative point of contact for enquirers and callers.
• Providing a high level of administrative support to the Department, acting as PA to the Director of Safeguarding, ensuring a customer focused approach to enquirers via telephone or email; and a warm welcome and excellent hospitality for visitors and colleagues.
• Having a key role in the maintenance of records and all arrangements regarding safeguarding training, including communications and our website information.
• Having responsibility for key practical aspects of our work, e.g. organising meetings, room bookings, supporting hospitality etc.
• Supporting, tracking and monitoring all our safeguarding training activities and coordinating evidence that will help us with our quality assurance work.
• Building positive working relationships – supporting wider diocesan administrative support such as covering Reception and helping with administration of diocesan activities.
