Interview Date: Friday 3 October, OX5 1GF

About the Role

The Diocese is seeking to appoint a new independent Chair to this important group, which oversees safeguarding policy, procedures, and practice across the Diocese. The Chair will lead a multi-agency panel that meets four times a year, with members also contributing to other time-limited safeguarding initiatives.

Working closely with the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser and senior diocesan leaders, the Chair will set the agenda for safeguarding accountability, oversee strategic risks, and offer advice that shapes diocesan safeguarding culture.

About You

You will bring extensive, current, or recent experience in safeguarding children, young people, and adults, ideally within a Church or wider faith-based context. You will have a strong track record of chairing complex, multi-agency safeguarding discussions or strategic forums, demonstrating sound judgment and the ability to navigate sensitive issues with authority and care.

Your deep commitment to the safety and well-being of children and vulnerable adults will be evident through your work. You will also be highly knowledgeable about safeguarding legislation, statutory guidance, and best practice, with the ability to apply this effectively in both strategic oversight and advisory roles.

Strong communication, strategic thinking, and interpersonal skills are essential, as is the ability to provide independent challenge and support within a governance setting.

You will be sympathetic to the values of the Christian faith but not hold any current formal role in the Diocese.
