Tallented is working with a 14 sized MAT in London.

In a Trust of this size and geographical spread, protecting the most vulnerable is a highly complex, systemic operation. We are seeking an authoritative Director of Safeguarding to ensure that the Trust’s culture of vigilance is flawless and universally applied.

Your core objective will be standardizing safeguarding practices. You will design, implement, and rigorously oversee standardized safeguarding audits across all 14 academies, ensuring absolute consistency and identifying any areas of vulnerability before they become critical. You will serve as the ultimate point of escalation and expertise for complex, high-risk cases.

Furthermore, you will lead the Trust-wide training and Continuous Professional Development (CPD) strategy for safeguarding. You will ensure that every single employee, from site staff to the Board of Trustees, receives cutting-edge training, and you will provide specialized, ongoing supervision and support for the Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) within each school.
