Deputy Designated Professional for All-Age Safeguarding

Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB; Bristol; On-site; GBP 60,000 - 80,000; Full time

Job description

Overview

This role is to support place based arrangements and therefore is aligned to a locality, although there is likely to be rotation in the team at some point in 2026.

The postholder will be exposed to working at a strategic level within the BNSSG system, closely supported by the Designated statutory roles for Children and Adults. As it is an all-age role, the postholder will also be encouraged to attend training events to upskill in any areas that they are not familiar with as it is recognised that practitioners may have particular expertise in either children\'s or adult\'s safeguarding.

Responsibilities

This role will offer coaching and managerial support to the Named and Specialist Practitioners within the ICB Safeguarding Team, including providing expert safeguarding advice when necessary, therefore previous managerial experience is vital.

Commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion

We are committed to creating an inclusive organisation that promotes and values diversity. We know from experience that different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds create a stronger, more creative workplace that helps us to deliver the best services. We welcome applications which represent the rich diversity of our community; from people of all ages, disabled people, all genders, people from ethnic minority groups, LGBTQ+ people, people with diverse gender identity and expression, people from all religions and beliefs and other diverse characteristics, and we have processes in place to ensure that all applications are treated fairly and consistently at every stage of the recruitment process.
