Childwall Sports & Science Academy is seeking to appoint a highly skilled and experienced Senior Safeguarding Lead (SSL) to join our Academy Leadership Team. This is a pivotal strategic role with lead responsibility for safeguarding and child protection across the whole school, including Sixth Form and any alternative provision.
The successful candidate will ensure that safeguarding arrangements are robust, responsive and fully compliant with statutory guidance, including Keeping Children Safe in Education. You will champion a culture where safeguarding is understood as everyone's responsibility and where pupils are supported to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
We are looking for someone who:
Childwall Sports and Science Academy is a vibrant, ambitious and multi-cultural school within Lydiate Learning Trust. We are proud of our inclusive ethos, strong values and commitment to staff development and wellbeing. You will join a supportive and collaborative team where your contribution will have a real impact on students' lives.
Applicants must have the right to work in the UK, as the Trust does not hold a Skilled Worker sponsor licence.
Lydiate Learning Trust is strongly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students and expect staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS and other relevant checks with statutory bodies.
Posts at the Trust are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore applicants are required to declare all unspent cautions and convictions; and any adult cautions or spent convictions that are not protected or defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) order 2020.
We comply with the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) code of practice. Shortlisted candidates are required to declare any relevant convictions, adult cautions or other matters which may affect their suitability to work with children. As a result of amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions order 1975) in 2013 and 2020, some minor offences are now protected (filtered) and should not be disclosed to us, and we cannot take these offences into account.
Childwall Sports & Science Academy are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Childwall Sports & Science Academy ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All appointments are subject to enhanced DBS clearance, satisfactory references and relevant pre-employment checks.
