Do you have a passion for making a difference?  Are you an experienced safeguarding professional who is driven by impact and looking for your next big challenge? Fancy going on a journey of a lifetime….

We are a small but mighty team, with huge ambitions to transform more lives of those who live with an intellectual disability, through the power of sport.  We are looking for a Safeguarding Lead to join our team as we continue our development.

As Safeguarding Lead, you will provide both strategic, operational and administrative input and support to develop, grow and implement robust safeguarding policies, procedures and a framework for our membership across Great Britain (GB), those in the National Office team, and other stakeholders. You will be responsible for driving a positive and effective safeguarding culture across SOGB.

We continue to be focused on our vision to create an inclusive world for all, driven by the power of sport, through which people with intellectual disabilities live active, healthy and fulfilling lives.

This is a permanent, home-based, full-time role. There will be the requirement to attend internal and external meetings or events which will involve travel away from home and working outside of normal hours.
