National Safeguarding Manager
Start date: September 2026
Permanent, all year round and full time: 40hours per week
Salary: PO7, points 46 - 49 £61,684 - £64,934 p/a
- Do you have a passion for safeguarding and enhancing the life chances of children?
- Can you juggle when lots of plates are spinning?
- Are you able to work with energy and positivity?
We are seeking a safeguarding expert able to protect and advocate for our young people while empowering the staff who care for them. How can we cultivate and maintain a culture that fiercely minimises harm, anticipates risks, and never defaults to "assuming someone else will do it"?
You need to be deeply knowledgeable enough to navigate complex statutory frameworks, compliance audits, and out-of-hours escalation pathways with absolute confidence. But you must also be skilled enough to build deep trust with our people, competence, and collaborative commitment in everyone across the organisation.
The Elliot Foundation Academies Trust, a successful, charitable 36-school primary-only multi-academy trust , has built an incredible national and regional network of support. Driven by a small, highly experienced, and collaborative central team , we have successfully established an annual audit framework, specialised regional network meetings, and active Safeguarding Working Groups. Now, we are poised to elevate our practices further. We are recruiting a National Safeguarding Manager to continue building on this solid base, providing comprehensive support, advice, and robust challenge across all our schools.
Our core mission is simple: to improve the education and lifelong chances of children through everything we do. To do this, we need someone who can confidently advise a Principal on a high-stakes local authority referral one morning , and design an inspiring, trust-wide interactive training program the next afternoon.
If you are a compassionate, authoritative leader who wants a career (not just a job) , and you have the passion to champion children across our national clusters, we will take you as far and sometimes further than you believed possible.

We need a "Swiss Army knife" person who can fit in any level of the organisation to instill a deep, reflective approach to data, anticipating risks and moving beyond after the fact excuses for under performance.
Your task is to improve the quality of inference without increasing the burden of assessment upon staff. How can we know our children and ourselves better so that we can teach all children more effectively?
