This role will be responsible for the development, management and implementation of a collection of inter-related projects.  These projects comprise the implementation of two of the recommendations in the IICSA Report and other related developments which the Church has been planning.

In Phase One, this programme of projects will be introduced with a group of “pathfinder” dioceses and cathedrals. Following evaluation and adjustment, Phase Two will be rolled out across the Church.

The five projects which make up this role are:

1. The implementation of IICSA Recommendation 1

This is a major structural change in which the role of “Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser” changes to a new one of “Diocesan Safeguarding Officer” with greater autonomy. Supervision arrangements also change from being arranged locally to being directly supervised and quality assured by the National Safeguarding Team.

2. The introduction on a pilot basis of a “regionalised” model of support for dioceses and cathedrals in respect of safeguarding.

This is the second major, and related, structural change. In this pilot Regional Safeguarding Leads (RSLs) will be appointed to work with small groups of dioceses and cathedrals. The RSLs will supervise the dioceses’ / cathedrals’ safeguarding advisers but will also lead cross-diocese developments such as survivor engagement, sharing of expertise and good practice, joint commissioning of resources, peer review.

3.The implementation of IICSA Recommendation 8.

This involves the design and implementation of independent external auditing of the Church’s safeguarding practices.

4. The introduction of the Church’s quality assurance framework and national safeguarding standards.

The Church has a draft quality assurance framework. This now needs to be introduced into use in the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals so that it can be further developed in readiness for implementation across the Church.

5. The development of a consistent methodology to enable dioceses and cathedrals to assess local safeguarding need and determine the resources needed to deliver good safeguarding practice.

The 42 dioceses and 42 cathedrals are responsible for the funding of their safeguarding arrangements (which include, for example, investigation of allegations, responding to survivors, training, quality assurance). The level of funding varies considerably between dioceses / cathedrals. One reason for this is the lack of a consistent methodology to assess both local need and the resources needed to achieve a good standard of safeguarding.

The role is based in the National Safeguarding Team but also links with the Church’s Project Management Office.

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Planning and co-designing (with the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals) the projects and proactively monitoring progress, resolving issues and initiating appropriate corrective action.
• Ensuring the integrity and coherence of the projects, and its continuous alignment with organisational strategies and departmental goals.
• Developing the plans for the delivery of the individual projects, setting out the key actions, steps and timescales needed for each project, the critical paths and the co-dependencies / interfaces between them.
• Leading on the direct management and delivery of specific elements of the projects. 
• Establishing effective working relationships (individually and collectively) with the key stakeholders in the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals. This will include, in particular, bishops, diocesan secretaries, deans, cathedral administrators, and diocesan and cathedral safeguarding advisers.
• Supporting the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals in the establishment of local project groups and governance arrangements.
• Developing arrangements for the engagement of victims and survivors of abuse in co-design and programme development.
• Managing risks to the programme's successful outcome.
• Developing the evaluation framework for Phase 1 and potentially leading the evaluation process.
• Developing the plan for roll out of the projects across the Church in Phase 2.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the UK's leading knife crime prevention charities and manage our expanding operations in London.  Building on the successes of our exhibitions in Islington and Nottingham, we will shortly be opening our new site in Barking & Dagenham.

Set up by Brooke Kinsella MBE following the tragic murder of her brother Ben in 2008. The Ben Kinsella Trust exists to campaign against knife crime and to educate young people about its dangers, helping them to make positive choices to stay safe.

The Ben Kinsella Exhibition

We have purpose-built exhibitions from where we deliver our choices and consequences workshops. These exhibitions are in Islington and Nottingham and we are currently building a new exhibition in Barking & Dagenham. Every year the Ben Kinsella Trust works with over 3,000 children and young people, aged from 10-16 years old. The rooms which make up the exhibition give young people a unique and immersive experience, allowing them to see how choices and consequences are intrinsically linked.

Our workshops change young people’s attitudes to knife crime; debunking the myth that carrying a knife will protect you. They strengthen peer values; ensuring young people give better advice to each other and challenge peers who are carrying, or thinking of carrying, a knife.

Through our website we also provide a wealth of free resources for schools, young people and parents.

Our current position

The Ben Kinsella Trust's work is well recognised and respected, and we frequently attract national attention. We use our position to campaign strongly: speaking out against factors contributing to increasing knife crime.

Over 16,000 young people have been through our Choices and Consequences exhibition, learning about Ben’s life and understanding knife crime from the point of view of both the victim and the offender. As our charity rapidly grows, we anticipate more and more young people will learn from Ben’s life and Ben’s legacy.

Our online learning resources are used by schools, police forces and youth groups across the country.  We estimate that over 10,000 people used these resources in the last year.

We are a small charity and feel very proud of our achievements.  The organisation currently has 3 full time employees in the CEO, Operations Manager and Trust Coordinator.  They are supported by our team of freelance workshop facilitators and actors who deliver our educational projects.  The successful applicant will thrive on collaborating in a small team, working independently, and using their own initiative.

How to apply

Please send a CV plus a covering letter addressing the essential criteria outlined in the role’s person specification below:

• Experience of working with young people and managing youth projects or other in relevant setting (essential)
• Experience of successful collaborative working with senior managers, practitioners and beneficiaries (essential)
• Experience of line management, especially of part time or freelance staff (essential)
• Networking, influencing and engagement skills (essential)
