August 2024 Start Date

We are currently seeking a Safeguarding Administrator to join our dedicated team of support staff, starting in August 2024. In this role, you will be instrumental in supporting the Safeguarding Officer (DSL) and ensuring the effective implementation of our safeguarding policies and procedures. This presents an exciting opportunity for an individual who is deeply committed to safeguarding and making a positive impact in the lives of young people.

If you are passionate about safeguarding and possess the necessary administrative skills to support our Safeguarding Officer (DSL), we would be delighted to hear from you. This role offers the chance to contribute to the well-being and protection of our students, providing them with a safe and nurturing environment in which to flourish.

Bexleyheath Academy is proud to be a non-selective school in the grammar heartland of Kent. Bexleyheath Academy is quickly approaching capacity with students; in order to accommodate the demands of the local community and grow our skilled staff, we must expand.

Joining a flourishing school at this time is an amazing opportunity!

With immediate train access to Central London and easy access to the Kent countryside, Bexleyheath has the best of both worlds. Despite having a Kent postcode, Bexleyheath is classified as Greater London due to its strategic location between Welling, Sidcup, and Bexley village. You can reach Dartford for the river crossing with a short drive along the A2.

Its thriving hub is The Broadway - a shopping district with added appeal in the shape of a bowling alley, cinema and a growing number of restaurants. A little beyond Bexleyheath and you're at Bluewater, Ashford for the designer outlet and international rail travel to Europe.

When inspectors visited Bexleyheath Academy in July 2021, they said that the way in which pupils work in school has been "transformed", and that "there is a positive atmosphere in classes and around the school". Inspectors also said that the school "has completely changed" and have confirmed in their report that Bexleyheath Academy is officially a good school
