Responsible to: The YP Project Service Manager & Head of Service
Hours: 20 hours per week (Term time only – 39 weeks)

Main Purpose of the Post

• Provide school staff training in early identification of risk, contextual safeguarding, and trauma informed responses.
Multi agency Partnership & Safeguarding
• Establish and maintain a multi-agency safeguarding pathway between schools, early help teams, police, and voluntary-sector partners.
• Support schools to implement early-intervention strategies and escalate safeguarding concerns appropriately.
