• Helping to maintain a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for all visitors.

We are looking for a compassionate, experienced, and adaptable individual who:

• Has proven experience as a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), including handling referrals and working with safeguarding protocols.

• Holds mental health first aid training and has strong knowledge of risk assessment and crisis intervention.

• Has experience working in a community support setting with vulnerable individuals.

• Is a team player, willing to support colleagues, volunteers, and visitors in any way needed.

• Can remain calm and professional in unpredictable situations and respond appropriately.

• Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a non-judgmental approach.

• Can work flexibly and adapt to the changing nature of the role.

Qualifications and Experience (Essential):

• Educational Background: Possession of an NVQ Level 3 or 4 in fields such as Mental Health, Community Work, Psychology, Youth Work, or other related disciplines.

• Safeguarding Certification: Holding a Level 3 or 4 Safeguarding certification, qualifying them to serve as a Designated Safeguarding Lead.
