WE ARE SEEKING A POLICY OFFICER
About the Department/Role
The Church of England is continually striving to improve its safeguarding practices. The 2020 report by IICSA on the Church highlighted failures in respect of child sexual abuse and, more broadly, the challenges facing the Church to get safeguarding right.
The Church's aspiration is that safeguarding is not experienced and approached as a matter of administrative compliance. Rather, it should be what the Church is - something that flows from its core beliefs and values, part of its DNA.
The Church has made important and positive strides over recent years. There is, however, still much to be done to keep children and vulnerable adults safe, and to promote their well-being. The Church is a complex collection of different bodies. Most of the safeguarding work is carried out locally within the 42 dioceses and cathedrals in England. This work is supported centrally by a National Safeguarding Team (NST).
What you'll be doing
The Church of England seeks a committed and collaborative Safeguarding Policy Officer to join the National Safeguarding Team. This role is central to developing, revising, and implementing national safeguarding policies that protect and support all members of the Church community.
Working closely with Safeguarding Policy and Development Leads, you'll ensure policies are grounded in academic research, aligned with legislation and canon law, and informed by survivor experiences and Church-wide learning.
In this role, you will:
- Co-manage the development and roll-out of safeguarding policies, codes of practice and guidance
- Collaborate with stakeholders, including survivors, bishops, Diocesan Safeguarding Officers, and Church bodies
- Ensure policy relevance across dioceses, parishes, cathedrals, religious communities, and theological institutions
- Lead the coordination and improvement of the safeguarding e-manual
- Engage with NCIs departments to embed safeguarding policy into wider initiatives
- Support the NST's learning and review cycle to refine policies over time
- Represent survivor perspectives within policy, training, and quality assurance activities
- Provide briefings and respond to safeguarding queries from Church bodies
- Take ownership of non-legislative content creation related to safeguarding
Key role requirements
- A basic DBS check will be required as part of our pre-employment checks.
- This is a hybrid role, and working arrangements can be discussed with the hiring manager.
- Please note: This is a fixed-term opportunity, and we are seeking to appoint three candidates across the following contracts:
- 1 position: 2-year fixed-term contract
- 2 positions: 15-month fixed-term contracts
About You
The Church of England is for everyone and we want to reflect the diversity of the community the Church serves across the whole country.

You will need to be/have:
To thrive in this role, you'll bring a unique blend of analytical skill, emotional intelligence, and commitment to safeguarding excellence. Below are the essential and desirable qualities we're looking for:
- A degree is not required for this role; however, the candidate will need to evidence at least 5 years of relevant experience in a similar field
- Strong written communication, able to tailor content for diverse audiences
- Skilled in analysing complex and conflicting information and distilling it into clear policy or guidance
- Confident working collaboratively across internal and external partnerships
- Able to lead and facilitate stakeholder groups to achieve outcomes
- Able to build trusted relationships with varied stakeholders, including survivors and Church colleagues
- Ability to communicate sensitively and effectively with individuals from all backgrounds, both written and verbal
