Deputy Safeguarding Advisor
Canterbury, Kent
£36,397 pa plus excellent benefits
35 hours per week
Permanent 

The Deputy Safeguarding Advisor is a very important role at the Diocese, as you will provide advice to parishes on safeguarding issues, cases and incidents to help ensure that our parishes, the Cathedral and the Diocesan offices discharge their responsibilities for safeguarding children and vulnerable adults who may be at risk of abuse or neglect.

Reporting to the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer and working within the Safeguarding Team, you will support and carry out casework which will also include reviewing safety plans and/or safeguarding agreements, assessing and managing risk of harm and undertaking risk assessments on blemished DBS checks or Confidential Declarations.

As Deputy Safeguarding Advisor, you will provide best practice advice to all stakeholders and partners as well as participating in the Diocese of Canterbury’s Safeguarding Executive Group and Diocesan and Cathedral Safeguarding Advisory Panel, whilst taking responsibility for preparing reports when requested.

Working closely with the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer, you will also coordinate the Diocese’s response to victims and survivors of church-based abuse which includes ensuring that victims and survivors are assisted in accessing relevant support services.

With a relevant professional qualification or equivalent (for example, social care or criminal justice) you should have significant experience of undertaking safeguarding risk assessments and professional safeguarding expertise and experience in a relevant statutory, voluntary, or judicial agency. 

Practitioner experience of working with victims and survivors of abuse and with offenders and perpetrators of abuse, is also essential.

You should have an understanding of the broader safeguarding field including its social and political context along with an in-depth knowledge of safeguarding legislation in relation to safeguarding children and adults, as well as having experience in using appropriate interview models with victims, survivors, and respondents.

Experience of contributing to case review processes and identifying and disseminating lessons to be learnt, e.g. Serious Case Review, Domestic Homicide Reviews, would be desirable. It would also be beneficial but not essential for you to have an understanding and good working knowledge of the Church of England, its organisation and governance structures.

You will be required to travel across the Diocese for meetings, so the ability to travel to remote locations and work flexibly is a necessity. This role will also be subject to an enhanced DBS check.

The Diocese of Canterbury Diocesan Safeguarding Team provides professional safeguarding guidance in line with the Church of England’s Safeguarding Code of Practice, House of Bishop’s Guidance, and the Church of England National Safeguarding Standards. A key aspect of the team’s role is to provide compassionate support to survivors of abuse in addition to safeguarding children, young people, and vulnerable adults, ensuring their voices are heard and their experiences are respected.

Canterbury Diocese is the oldest diocese in England, stretching from Maidstone to Thanet, the Isle of Sheppey to the Romney Marsh. We have 350 miles of coastline with historic ports and seaside resorts, alongside rural communities, market towns and commuter-belt urban developments. Affluent areas often sit alongside pockets of major deprivation, offering an exciting and challenging mission context. 

At the heart of all we do is a vision of transformation for ourselves and our communities: no one can encounter God and remain unchanged. In the Diocese of Canterbury, we want to increasingly become a Christian community transformed through encounter with Christ, growing and overflowing to transform and bless the families, homes and communities we serve: Changed Lives, Changing Lives.

Closing date: 10th August 2025, 11.59pm
Interview date: 20th August 2025 – Canterbury.

There is an Occupational Requirement under the Equality Act 2010 for the post holder to be a committed Christian. As such, the successful candidate will be a Christian with an active commitment in a local church congregation, who is supportive of the values, aims and ethos of the Free Church of Scotland.

Hybrid working with two days per week in Peterborough

Full-time, 35 hours per week

Are you passionate about international development and ensuring marginalised communities are able to access global health services? Do you want to be instrumental in ending one of the world’s most ancient diseases? Are you able to walk alongside our partners, across Africa and Asia, offering prayer, compassion and technical support, as they strive to transform the lives of some of the world’s most marginalised people? Is God calling you to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and serve those affected by leprosy?

Today, one person every two minutes is diagnosed with leprosy. It’s a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. Left untreated, it causes permanent disability. Stigma means that people affected by this disease are often rejected by those closest to them and excluded from basic services. 

Within our dynamic programmes team, you’ll be working alongside supportive colleagues who are passionate about ending leprosy and transforming lives. We have a culture of learning and growing together and will provide training in best practice, ensuring excellence in all we do. You will have at least three years’ work experience in an international development programming role or similar setting (ideally in the global South), with a degree in a relevant discipline. You will have monitoring, evaluation and research skills, with the capacity to work on your own initiative and will be an excellent cross-cultural communicator. We are particularly interested to hear from people with expertise in disability services, public health, research, quality assurance, or social enterprise development. However, those with experience in community development and working in fragile states would also be most welcome to apply.

You will be responsible for the development of UK-funded programmes, supporting the capacity development of overseas partners and managing income streams from large donors. In addition, you will champion our work on the global stage and engage in national and global advocacy on Neglected Tropical Diseases (including leprosy), global health and disability issues. This will require travel overseas for approximately eight weeks per year.

The Leprosy Mission Great Britain (TLMGB) is a leading international Christian development organisation with over 150 years’ experience and is part of The Leprosy Mission worldwide family. TLMGB serves the poorest of the poor in 9 countries across Africa and Asia, raising funds and developing partner capacity to provide life-changing healthcare, training and job opportunities for people who have been excluded and rejected.

TLMGB has a zero-tolerance approach to any harm to, or exploitation of, our beneficiaries, staff and communities we come into contact with. Recruitment to roles within TLMGB includes, in particular, criminal record checks and the collection of relevant references. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from joining us as an employee; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences. In addition, the successful candidate will be required to undertake a work health assessment questionnaire.

TLMGB is an explicitly Christian charity. Working alongside our Christian partners in often challenging and difficult circumstances, we come together regularly in prayer and also attend devotional prayer meetings. There is also an expectation to offer prayer to support our partners overseas and as such this role carries an occupational requirement to be a practising Christian. We are committed to diversity and welcome applications from appropriately qualified candidates from all sections of the community who have a right to work in the UK.

To apply and for more information on this role and the work of TLMGB, please visit our website.

Closing date: 9am on Friday 25 July 2025.

Reporting to:  Partner Journey Supervisor
Responsible for:  Communications with our donors, sponsors, and inquirers
Location:  122 Braymere Road, Hampton, Peterborough, PE7 8NB
Weekly Hours:  40 hours per week
Salary:  £30,000 pa

WELCOME TO GFA WORLD

Since 1979, we have been committed to serving the “least of these” in Asia and Africa, primarily in places where no-one has ever heard the name of Jesus, so that those still waiting can experience the love of God for the first time. We are partnered with national missionaries serving as the hands and feet of Christ in Asia and Africa, helping children in poverty and suffering, and running community development initiatives to help families in need of care or during disasters.  

As a Christian missions order we function as a community, and by joining GFA World you'll be joining a family that's doing life together, journeying towards Jesus, living for eternity, and making a difference for some of the poorest and most afflicted people on earth, in Christ's name. 

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

Our impact on the mission field is fueled by the faithful donations and prayers of our sponsors and donors in the UK and Europe.  These are our "partners" in the Gospel, labouring with us in prayer, giving sacrificially, raising a voice for the needs on the mission field, and often finding meaning in Jesus' call on their lives. 
 
Most people don't realise how much need there is, nor how they can make a difference to it, while for some it doesn't yet matter.  We aim to be a window into the mission field, to help people see the multitudes and be moved with compassion, and begin to take steps to make that difference as a partner of GFA World.  This is their "Partner Journey".

Today thousands of people in the world will die without ever having had a chance to hear of Jesus' love for them, and we exist to give more people that chance before it's too late.  We currently have about 1,500 generous partners, and we hope to double that in the next 5 years.  

In this role you will serve as a vital link between the church in the UK and Europe and the mission fields of Asia and Africa.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

You will help people find their path on our "Partner Journey".  You will function as part of a team, and have training in each aspect of the team's ministries, but you will only be responsible for certain ones or parts of them at any one.  These functions include, but are not limited to:
•  Point of Contact
•  Donor Services
•  Sponsor Relations
•  Posting Materials
•  Corporate Prayer

Point of Contact
Our sixth Core Value is "Having A Servant Lifestyle", and one way we do that is by answering phone calls and e-mails from our partners and inquirers.  You and the team will be the voice of GFA World to the UK and Europe, representing the mission field to them.  We will train you to answer queries, process requests, and share stories from the mission field. 
 
Donor Services
Our second Core Value is "Being A People Of Integrity And Excellence", and one key way we live that out is proper handling of donations from our faithful partners.  You and the team will receive donations and record them in our database, and send the appropriate acknowledgments to those who gave them.  

Sponsor Relations
Part of our Mission Statement is to "fulfil the Great Commission through sending out qualified labourers in partnership with the body of Christ".  There's no better way to see that happen than to help believers here sponsor missionaries in mission field areas.  You and the team will help people initiate and maintain their sponsorship commitments, sending them photo profiles, testimonies, and updates.

Posting Materials
We can't take everyone to the mission field to experience what God is doing, the next best things is to give them materials which tell the story, and challenge them to think about others.  You and the team will be helping that happen by sending people our mission minded materials and books.

Corporate Prayer
Our fifth Core Value is "Being A People Committed To Prayer And Worship", and GFA World started with a Tuesday Night Prayer Meeting.  It is fueled by prayer, and would die out without it.  We maintain this tradition and require all staff to take part in praying for the needs of a dying world, to ensure we are always depending upon the Holy Trinity for grace for His work.

ABOUT THE APPLICANT

We recognise that, to be great at your role, there are certain characteristics that are important and others that enable a good fit within our existing team and culture.  But if you don’t meet them, get in touch anyway!  you may be more awesome that you realise.

• You are a practising Christian who reads the Bible and has attended a local church for at least 2 years
• Proven experience in administrative roles
• Excellent organisational and time management skills
• Strong attention to detail
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, Outlook)
• Experience with database management
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• You’d like to make a difference for people in other countries, even though you may never meet them in person
• You don’t feel a call to go to the mission field yourself, but you desire to use your time on Earth to help people know Jesus, from an office here in England
• You are able to communicate effectively in spoken and written English
• Have excellent verbal and written communication skills and be able to communicate clearly and effectively to internal and external Partners and team members.
• Ability to develop a rapport quickly with internal and external Partners, adopting a friendly and confident approach with a wide range of Partner types.

NOTE: As a result of our Christian ethos, this post is covered by an Occupational Requirement (OR) under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010. The successful applicant will be expected to:
•  be a practising Christian, and current active membership of a local church
•  subscribe to our statement of faith and the Nicene Creed (see below)
•  demonstrate a personal commitment to our Mission and Core Values
•  participate in, and sometimes lead, our times of Christian prayer
•  be willing to work with Christians from various denominations

GFA WORLD’S STATEMENT OF FAITH

WE BELIEVE:

•  That the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, given to us by the Church – “the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15).
•  The Nicene Creed to be the official Creed of the Holy Church.
•  In one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-eternal and of equal dignity and power.
•  In the deity of Jesus Christ; His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His death on a cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal, imminent return.
•  That man was created by and for God; that by man’s disobeying God, every person incurred spiritual death, which meant they were no longer in communion with God, and physical death was the consequence; and that all people are given the option of being redeemed and restored to God.
•  The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are declared righteous because of His victory over death and are, therefore, in right relationship with God.
•  Salvation means far more than being “saved from sin; we are saved for sonship, to be divinely adopted sons and daughters of God. Forgiveness is the precondition for God’s greater gift, the gift that will last beyond our death: the gift of divine life” (1 Corinthians 15:3-7).
•  Believers in Christ are destined to share in the life of the Holy Trinity. Sharing in the life of God, as God has shared in our humanity (1 Peter 1:4).
•  In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers and thus enabling and empowering the life and ministry of the believer.
•  In the bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, the everlasting blessedness of those in right relationship with God, and eternal separation for those who have rejected God’s forgiveness in His Son.
•  The sacrament of marriage to be ordained by God as a holy union between one man and one woman as biologically defined at birth.

THE NICENE CREED

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made; being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and died and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead; whose Kingdom shall have no end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets. And we believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

Growing Younger is our 10 year plan for achieving two bold outcomes and we now need someone to lead this plan.

At the heart of our vision of a transformation in our engagement with children and young people are two commitments:

• that every child and young person in Cornwall will be in reach of a worshipping community in which to explore the possibility of God and be at home; and
• to increase the number of young disciples of Jesus by a factor of ten from a baseline of around 400 to 4,000.

You will be passionate about seeing children, young people, and families flourish in faith. Working  closely with clergy, deaneries and the diocesan staff team you will  have significant experience in church ministry,  working with children and young people, and achieving results against plans.

We are very happy to invest in the right person and can offer a range of training and support.

At the Diocese of Truro, we value work-life balance and employee wellbeing and are committed to supporting your development. We offer additional benefits such as flexible working, up to 26 days holiday plus bank holidays, a range of wellbeing activities and the Church of England Pension Scheme with 9-15% employer contributions. You can find more information about this on our website. 

The closing date for applications is midnight on 27 July 2025 with interviews being held 5 August 2025 in Truro.

Please note that whilst some home working is permitted this role cannot be done remotely and we do not pay staff to commute from outside Cornwall.

We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons. However, we would particularly welcome applications from those with a disability, or from a UK minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented in our staff.

SAFEGUARDING – EVERYONE MATTERS – EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY

The Diocese of Truro strives to be trauma informed, and is committed to developing safer policies, cultures, and practices.

The Role

In this role, you will support the Director of Finance in providing a proactive, efficient, and highly effective finance service across the Diocesan Board of Finance and Trust custodian company, as well as supporting the larger finance team who look after the Board of Education.
