NSPCC Hiring for Senior Education Consultant Job at Remote Full Time

Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. It drives us. And it motivates our Strategy, Policy and Evidence team to maintain our position as an influential, informed and forceful voice at every level. Join us as a Senior Consultant with secondary school subject knowledge and experience, and lead progress that means more.

The focus of this post is the development and provision of a high-quality education consultancy service as part of the Training & Consultancy team. The successful post holder will be responsible for managing and delivering an education consultancy offer against set income and utilisation targets.

This post is based in the NSPCC Consultancy service. The focus of this department is strengthening safeguarding services, systems, policies and practices through the provision of organisational safeguarding consultancy. The department also provides advice, events and products to help organisations make children safer.

This is an exciting opportunity to work collaboratively to increase awareness, influence and leverage within the education sector, to engage key professionals involved in delivering child protection to have the skills, knowledge systems and structures to protect the young people in their care.

You will have extensive practical knowledge of safeguarding within the school environment and an understanding of the statutory duties. With strong influencing and networking skills you should be confident engaging professionals at all levels, with the ability to really listen to others’ needs and point of view, find solutions to their problems whilst being able to challenge poor practice, and communicate effectively with diverse audiences. Ideally you will have worked in a safeguarding context in your previous role(s).

The role will be accountable for managing multiple workstreams with internal and external stakeholders, as we scale our secondary school strand of the consultancy offer. We are looking for a dynamic, organised and tenacious individual who has significant experience safeguarding within the school environment with proven project management experience.

Join us and you’ll become part of a team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You’ll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that’ll bring the best out in you. And you’ll get to find your own way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts millions of young lives.

The post is accountable to the Service Head of Training and Consultancy. This is a UK-wide role, therefore regular travel and overnight stays will be required.
