SAFEGUARDING LEAD (Designated Safeguarding Officer) x3 — SUNSHINE Charity 

Be the calm protector. The steady guide. The heart‑led guardian of our community.

Help us keep every moment of SUNSHINE safe, warm and human

SUNSHINE Charity is a joyful, people‑powered movement tackling loneliness through connection, kindness and uplifting experiences. Everything we do is built on trust, humanity and care — and that’s why we’re recruiting three Safeguarding Leads (Designated Safeguarding Officers) to help us create safe, positive spaces for everyone involved.

If you’re calm, compassionate, confident with boundaries and passionate about protecting people, this role is a chance to make a profound difference.

Why this role matters

Safeguarding is the backbone of a safe, ethical, community‑driven charity. As a Safeguarding Lead, you’ll ensure SUNSHINE follows UK safeguarding good practice, supports volunteers with clarity and confidence, and responds appropriately to concerns.

You’ll help us build a culture where people feel safe, respected, listened to and protected — a culture that allows joy, connection and community to flourish.

This role is essential to our mission, and you’ll be part of a warm, supportive team that values your expertise and your humanity.

Key duties will include

• Be a designated point of contact for safeguarding concerns raised by volunteers, participants or partners.

• Receive, record and assess concerns calmly, clearly and in line with UK safeguarding standards.

• Promote safe, positive practice across the charity, helping volunteers understand boundaries and responsibilities.

• Ensure SUNSHINE’s safeguarding policy is followed and updated as we grow.

• Liaise with statutory agencies when required, ensuring concerns are escalated appropriately.

• Support volunteers with guidance, reassurance and clarity — never clinical advice.

• Champion a culture of safety, dignity and respect across all activities.

Who you are

You'll bring:

• Calmness, clarity and confidence

• A warm, human‑centred approach

• Strong communication skills

• Integrity, reliability and sound judgement

• Understanding of safeguarding (training or experience helpful but not essential)

• Comfort with boundaries and non‑clinical support

• Passion for protecting people and strengthening community

Most importantly, you care deeply about creating safe spaces where people can connect, grow and feel valued.

What you’ll be part of

SUNSHINE is a charity built on joy, humanity and connection. You’ll join a team that is:

• Supportive

• Passionate

• Community‑driven

• Ambitious

• Heart‑led

You’ll help shape a safeguarding culture that empowers volunteers, protects participants and ensures SUNSHINE remains a safe, uplifting place for everyone.

Ready to help us shine safely?

If you want to use your safeguarding skills to protect a joyful, human‑driven charity — we’d love to welcome you into the SUNSHINE family.

• Step forward.
• Bring your calm, your care, your clarity.
• Help us keep SUNSHINE safe, strong and full of heart.

Let’s make London brighter — and safer — together.
