Safeguarding Team with the Diocese of Newcastle

Safeguarding Adviser – casework, advice and guidance (25hrs)

The diocese is reshaping its central safeguarding team to bring confidence and capacity to our diocesan safeguarding infrastructure, champion our commitment to the highest standards of safeguarding practice, advice, guidance and support - and help us ensure that we are able to build on our commitment for a truly positive safeguarding culture in every corner of the diocese.

We have a new Director who will be appointed in January, and then three brand new team roles which will be recruited to in early February to give a real sense of momentum and change!

You may find it helpful to look at the Church of England’s National Safeguarding Standards framework which informs safeguarding policy and practice across the Church. https://www.churchofengland.org/safeguarding/national-safeguarding-standards

If you think this might be a role for you, and you’d like an informal conversation about it before applying, please contact Ruth O’Hagan who will arrange this for you (info@newcastle.anglican.org)

The closing date is 23rd January at 9am and interviews will be held at the Newcastle Diocesan offices on 5th February 2025.

This is a role that sits within our safer recruitment practices and an Enhanced DBS will be required.
