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.

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.

Key Interdependencies: Executive/Senior Leadership Teams/Trustees/Safeguarding Advisor
Location: ShelterBox HQ, Truro, Cornwall (A relocation package is available for the successful candidate if they require a move to Cornwall for this role).
Role Purpose
ShelterBox has changed a lot in the last five years, and the humanitarian sector is also evolving as we do, with a much stronger focus on partnerships with local organisations on the front lines of aid delivery. Yet we still send staff and volunteers on visits to programme sites, often taking calculated risks to oversee how we can learn and improve humanitarian operations. Our people are led by strong values of service and dedication, without which we could not serve communities after disaster. We are now seeking to put stronger systems in place to ensure we are getting the best from our staff and volunteers, and that we as an employer are giving them the best possible experience as members of this international organisation.
ShelterBox is searching for an experienced senior people leader with a proven ability to lead through ambiguity and transformation, with a track record of embedding high-performance cultures and navigating complex change in mission-driven environments. The successful candidate will provide leadership to our excellent people team and help to develop and deliver an engaging and effective new organisational people strategy, which must reflect the complexity of a globally distributed organisation, ensuring cultural intelligence, equity, and inclusion are embedded across all people practices. The Director of People and Culture will also work closely with our 13 affiliate offices to ensure alignment in our strategic direction on people management.
This isn't just about being a Director of People and Culture who has oversight of all aspects of the people function. This role is also about delivering visible and compassionate leadership as part of our Executive Team, consistently upholding and embodying our values of participation, learning, integrity and flexibility. The successful candidate will bring an assured presence with the ability to make decisions and influence at all levels, including Board and international affiliates. They will be a trusted advisor to the CEO and the Executive Team and be a visible, values-driven leader across the organisation.
You will be helping to build a new purpose-driven people strategy, embedding core values and our organisational mission. You will lead the team in driving our Employer Value Proposition: how we hire, train, develop and retain our people to meet the long-term aims and ambitions of the organisation. There will be a particular focus on training our future leaders and current managers in best practices, as well as establishing accountability for measuring performance and rewarding success.
You will oversee all aspects of the organisation's HR, learning and development, EDI, and well-being functions and a significant proportion of our volunteering support.

The Role
We are looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Marketing & Projects Coordinator to join our high-performing marketing function at Islamic Help. This is a unique role that sits at the intersection of project management, internal communications, and marketing delivery.
You will not be solely responsible for designing social media posts, editing videos, or running ad campaigns - we already have expert teams in place for that. However, you will be invited into those processes, with opportunities to observe, contribute, and grow. We are always open to ideas that improve our work, and there is definitely scope for development in this area of marketing over time.
The core of this role is to co-ordinate, connect, and communicate - ensuring that everything runs smoothly, projects are delivered on time, and the many moving parts of the marketing department stay aligned.
This role doesn’t require deep experience in marketing execution. At its heart, it’s a project management and stakeholder coordination position. However, it’s ideal for someone with an interest in marketing and communications who wants to gain exposure and experience across a full marketing ecosystem - including brand, paid media, video, SEO, digital infrastructure, and more - in a fast-paced, mission- and results-driven environment.
You’ll work closely with the Director of Marketing & Technology, the Senior Marketing Officer, and a broad mix of outsourced specialists, including Google Ads experts, SEO consultants, graphic designers, videographers, performance marketers, and UI/UX professionals.
This is a role for someone who thrives in a structured, high-output setting, wants to be part of work that makes a real difference globally, and is eager to gain deep experience in the full A-Z of how a professional marketing team functions.
Key Responsibilities
Project Coordination
- Track and manage marketing projects from inception to completion, ensuring they are delivered on time, to spec, and aligned with brand standards
- Coordinate between internal departments and external specialists (e.g. video teams, print houses, performance marketing agencies)
- Schedule meetings, follow up on action points, and ensure teams stay on track
- Maintain clarity on project timelines, tasks, ownerships, and deadlines
- Manage platforms such as Asana, Hootsuite, and shared file systems to monitor workflow and progress.
Internal Communication & Stakeholder Liaison
- Gather marketing-related needs from other departments across the organisation
- Clarify briefs, manage expectations, and feed this information to relevant creatives or external vendors
- Ensure alignment between campaign objectives and deliverables
- Flag blockers or conflicts early and work with senior leadership to resolve them.
Marketing Support (Fluency, Not Ownership)
- Engage with marketing tools and channels (e.g. Hootsuite, social platforms, content schedules), not as the creator, but as a coordinator
- Analyse and review creative outputs (e.g. social posts, videos, copy) for basic accuracy, alignment, and tone
- Provide constructive feedback or flag potential issues to relevant team members
- Respond to or escalate social media engagement (e.g. DMs, comment moderation) when needed.
Research & Trend Monitoring
- Conduct market research to identify trends, opportunities, or gaps within the sector
- Feed relevant insight to the Senior Marketing Officer and Director to help shape campaign direction
- Monitor sector activity and competitor positioning.
About you
For us, it’s not just what we do, it’s how we do it. Our values are important to us and we’re looking for people who will live and breathe them.
Why This Role Might Be Right for You
- You want to build your career in marketing and/or project management without needing to create all the assets yourself
- You love organisation, timelines, responsibility, and making things happen
- You’re a natural communicator who can keep teams and tasks aligned
- You work well under pressure and don’t shy away from responsibility
- You’re passionate about doing work that supports meaningful causes and helps people around the world

- Strong project management and coordination abilities
- Exceptional time management and organisational skills
- Calm and solution-oriented under pressure
- Comfortable and proactive in seeking guidance or help when needed
- Passionate about the work, the sector, and making a difference — this is not the right role for someone simply looking to clock in and out.
Desirable
- Familiarity with marketing platforms (e.g. Hootsuite, HubSpot, Meta Business Manager, Google Analytics, etc.)
- Some prior experience in a fast-paced or stakeholder-heavy environment
- A career interest in marketing, communications, or project management.
