Summary
The National Safeguarding Team provides professional safeguarding advice to the Church of England on matters of national policy as part of its wider transformation plan, which includes the development and implementation of national policy, training, quality assurance and audit, and work with survivors. The national safeguarding team also leads complex casework and supports dioceses in their safeguarding of children and adults.
An investigation by the Independent Inquiry Child Sexual Abuse conducted in 2019 has highlighted some areas for improvement in the Church of England Safeguarding Structure and Practices. This investigation reviewed the extent to which the Church of England and the Church in Wales protected children from sexual abuse in the past. It also examined the effectiveness of current safeguarding arrangements. A public hearing on these specific areas was held in 2019. The report, published in 2020, also drew on the previous two case studies on the Anglican Church, which related to the Diocese of Chichester and Peter Ball. In addition to recommendations made in the case studies, IICSA made eight recommendations in this report, covering areas such as clergy discipline, information-sharing and support for victims and survivors.
The Redress Scheme project is part of the Church of England's Safeguarding Programme, which aims to embed structure, quality assurance and continuous improvement in line with its Safeguarding principles. Following the Church of England's recently approval of a comprehensive redress scheme for survivors of Church-related abuse, the project is now moving into the implementation phase, and we are looking for a new member of the team to help us prepare for the opening the Scheme.

- Excellent communication and influencing skills, including the ability to advise trustees and colleagues without a finance background.
- Hands-on and proactive approach — able to switch between daily processing tasks and senior-level strategic work.
- Familiarity with Sage (or similar) and strong Excel capability.

You’ll join a supportive, close-knit team working closely with NHS partners and local communities. The charity offers flexible hybrid working, professional development opportunities, and the chance to directly influence the impact delivered across its healthcare sites.

Overall objectives:
- Provide efficient and effective support to Battersea’s CRM system users.
- Support the work of the wider Data Applications team and contribute to the design and delivery of effective system processes.

If you require the use of AI software to aid in completing your application, we ask you use the generative responses as a prompt for writing your answers and avoid copying and pasting.
