Job description

The National Safeguarding Panel (NSP) is seeking volunteers who can fulfil the following roles:

- 2x Independent Member with Specialist Skills in the Scrutiny of Adult Safeguarding
- 2x Independent Member with professional expertise in working with offenders

The roles we are seeking a volunteer for within the NSP are as follows:

  1. We are seeking an Independent Member with specialist expertise in adult safeguarding to join the Panel. This is a critical role providing challenge, insight, and independent scrutiny in relation to safeguarding adults at risk across a wide range of Church contexts. Panel meetings combine evidence-gathering, thematic scrutiny, and dialogue with safeguarding leaders. You will be part of shaping national learning, advising on policy development, and ensuring the experiences of adults at risk and survivors inform the Church's safeguarding approach.
  2. The NSP is seeking TWO Independent Members with professional expertise in working with offenders, including individuals who pose safeguarding or sexual harm risks. The Church's safeguarding responsibilities require strong expertise in understanding risk, rehabilitation, boundaries, and risk-management frameworks. This specialist role brings challenge, insight, and professional oversight into how the Church manages individuals who may present risks to children, adults, or communities.

Role Expectation
Time Commitment: Approx. 6-8 meetings per year, plus preparation
Term: 3 years, renewable for 2 years
Location: Meetings held in London and across dioceses (hybrid attendance available)

Remuneration and Expenses

A fee of £25 per hour will be paid for attendance at meetings, along with reimbursement for travel expenses. Members are expected to attend six meetings per year and undertake one hour of reading in preparation for each panel meeting. Additional reasonable expenses will be reimbursed in accordance with the Church of England's NCI expenses policy, subject to approval by the Chair.

Support and Induction

New members will receive a full induction programme, including meetings with key panel and safeguarding team members, and access to relevant resources.

How to apply

To apply, please submit your CV along with a personal statement of no more than 500 words outlining your relevant skills and experience, and explaining why you are interested in the role.
