Education manager jobs in westminster, greater london

Summary

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).

Every diocese employs a Diocesan Safeguarding Officer (DSO)*. Many also employ Assistant Diocesan Safeguarding Officers (ADSOs). DSOs take the lead on safeguarding matters for the diocese - particularly the management of allegations of abuse by Church Officers**. Some cathedrals employ a Cathedral Safeguarding Officer (CSO) or have an agreement with their diocese for the DSO to take the lead on safeguarding operational matters.

In response to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) in the Anglican Church, published in October 2020, a regional model was piloted as a means of delivering Recommendation 1. Since the pilot concluded in March 2024, approval has been granted to implement the model across England and this work will begin from September 2024. Recruitment to these additional Regional Safeguarding Lead posts will enable the National Safeguarding Team to deliver IICSA Recommendation 1.

As Project Support Officer, you will play a key role in supporting the development and implementation of national safeguarding policy across the Church of England. Working closely with senior colleagues, you will assist in coordinating policy projects, tracking progress through governance processes, and ensuring effective communication with stakeholders. Your work will directly support the delivery of strategic priorities and the Church's commitment to creating a safer environment for all.

The Work Rights Centre, in partnership with the LEF Fellowship Programme, is looking for a Trainee Solicitor to join our ambitious and driven team. We are a charity set up by migrants and for migrants, and every day our multilingual team of legal advisers stand up for their employment rights and secure their immigration status. 

This is an ideal opportunity for a candidate with a strong sense of justice, who is looking to build a career in a legal profession. This role will suit someone who values impact, and the opportunity to make a real  difference in the lives of vulnerable migrant workers and disadvantaged Britons.

You will be able to learn from three experienced solicitors, exercise your skills as an adviser, and progress your career in a friendly and supportive environment. The LEF Fellowship Programme will cover the cost of your mandatory legal training and exams. By the end of two years you will have had the chance to complete your SQE training and gain the required practical experience to fully qualify as a solicitor.

The role

As the Trainee Solicitor,  you’ll work on a stimulating range of issues across two wide areas of law -  Immigration (in Year 1) and Employment (in Year 2). You will learn how best to support vulnerable clients with limited English language and digital skills, how to spot signs of modern slavery or manage safeguarding concerns.

Working with our immigration team, you will help clients understand and secure their immigration status in the UK. You will support clients who have limited leave to remain (e.g. on employer-sponsored visas, Ukraine Visa Schemes, or pre-settled EUSS status) or who are entirely undocumented. Working with our employment team, you will work on cases involving non-payment of wages, non-provision of work, unlawful deductions, race and gender discrimination, or unfair dismissals. Crucially, you will have the opportunity to understand the real-life intersection of the two areas of law, as they are often experienced by the same clients. 

This is a brilliant opportunity to gain well-rounded experience across all stages of the legal process, including interviewing clients, collecting information and assessing evidence, taking down witness statements, providing over the phone and written advice, and collating evidence bundles. 

Alongside your legal work and SQE2 study, you will complete an independent social justice project aligned with your personal interests and objectives of the charity. This might entail legal research, sourcing strategic cases, or compiling data on the impact of the current policies. Working on this project will give you an opportunity to conduct strategic legal work contributing to systemic change. 

The fellowship programme will cover the cost of both your legal training and wide-skills training, as well as providing you with well-being support. Please find a full list of benefits on the LEF website.

About you

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and confident colleague who shares our commitment to providing excellent legal advice to migrant workers. Key criteria include:

• Completed and passed (or expect to pass by 14 March 2026) the Legal Practice Course (LPC) OR have an undergraduate degree and completed and passed SQE Part 1.

• Enthusiastic and proactive, motivated by a strong sense of justice.

• Confident and resourceful, you enjoy public-facing work and are keen to learn.

• Experience of working with  marginalised migrant communities

• Experience of working in a team, and progressing towards shared objectives.

• Can demonstrate commitment to social justice, and the aims and values of the Work Rights Centre.

How to apply

Download the full job description and person specifications. Please apply directly via LEF portal by the end of Friday, November 28th.

Successful candidates will be notified if they have been shortlisted for an interview by January 2026. The interviews will take place online between 26th January and 6 February 2026. The traineeship will commence on 1st April 2026.

We are excited at the potential to bring our heritage to life through our Heritage Fund project 'St Richard's 60:60 - celebrating our first 60 years and preparing for the next'. The National Lottery Heritage Fund have awarded us £248,000 to develop a £3.5m project which will restore our iconic Modern church and celebrate it's first 60 years as a launchpad for the future.  Our goal is to give our Grade II church a secure and sustainable future as a home for a thriving church and a welcoming flexible space for community groups and activities. 

St Richard's Church was opened in 1966 in the heart of a new housing estate alongside a new Primary School, with which it has a strong and supportive working relationship. It is a striking and flexible building with a strong local presence.  It has significant architectural and artisic features and the hyberbolic paraboloid roofs are amongst the few remaining examples in the country. However the roof covering is failing and the timber roof shells are deteriorating rapidly, leading to it being placed on the Heritage at Risk Register in 2025. Our Heritage Fund project will repair and restore the building and provide engagement opportunities bringing its heritage to life while meeting community needs. 

The Community Engagement and Activity Plan Consultant will:

• provide expert advice on the development of the Activity Plan and Activity Action Plan, drawing on comparator projects and following The National Lottery Heritage Fund guidelines and Heritage 2033 Strategy.
• draw up and deliver a consultation programme with the Project Steering Group, building on the work already undertaken and plan and lead pilot heritage activities during the development phase
• develop relationships with existing and potential stakeholders connected with the development and delivery of the Activity Plan.
• research and prepare an Interpretation Plan to inform the Activity Plan and Action Plan
