Bulwell St Mary’s Church of England Primary School is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified, enthusiastic and hard-working Safeguarding Lead.

Bulwell St Mary's is a wonderfully welcoming Church of England city school, where children from a variety of backgrounds come together to learn, grow and flourish in a supportive, nurturing Christian community.

Bulwell St. Mary’s is a proud Church of England school that develops Christian values and morals. We focus on 6 key values: Respect, Friendship, Courage, Honesty, Forgiveness and Creativity. This allows our children to grow as individuals and interact positively with each other in all situations they encounter. The values, along with our Take Care Ethos, are a way of life rather than a set of rules to be followed which allows our children to become respectful, thoughtful, content and happy.

You will:

•    Have experience in ensuring effective procedures for safeguarding children are applied in school.

·       Have responsibility for ensuring all staff in school are kept informed of updates to practice and procedures and safeguarding induction is completed for new staff.

·       Develop and maintain relationships with parents and carers to encourage participation in school.

·       Offer practical support for families where pupil attendance is a concern.

·       Establish good working relationships with pupils acting as a role model and setting high expectations.

·       Provide support (including pastoral support) to children where appropriate.

·       Contribute to the overall ethos/work/aims of the school

·       Establish constructive relationships with colleagues, other schools within the Trust and outside agencies.

·       Have a passion to help people and see lives changed

In return we offer:

•            A welcoming community and a highly motivated, professional staff team that are driven

              towards continuously raising standards.

•            Excellent professional development opportunities through an extensive range of network groups and other Transform Trust initiatives

•            Calm and purposeful learning environments

•            Excellent partnerships between pupils, staff, parents, governors and community

•            A forward-thinking approach to teaching and learning throughout the school

•            Career opportunities as part of a successful Multi Academy Trust

Visits to our school are warmly welcomed, please contact the school office to arrange an appointment.
