At Pivot we believe children deserve better.

In our academies we teach and support children and young people from Key Stages - 4 who have been excluded from school, for whom mainstream education is simply not working, or those with an EHCP who require a specialist placement.

Every day our teams do incredible work, making a huge difference to some of the most complex and challenging children, many of whom come to us with traumatic backgrounds.

Due to the growth of our offer, we are currently seeking a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) to support our Day 6 provision.

At Pivot 6, we offer specialist support for KS4 children who have been permanently excluded from mainstream school.

Our aim in Pivot 6 is to support students academically and socially to prepare them for transition back into mainstream school.

This is a key role at Pivot to lead the responsibility for child protection and wider safeguarding within our Day 6 provision.

You will work closely with the Lead Social Worker and DSL, Head of Commissioned Services, teachers and the pastoral lead to provide advice and support to young people, their parents or carer's and at times to schools and other agencies.

As the DSL, you will respond to and address any safeguarding concerns raised including making referrals to statutory agencies.

Our Pivot 6 site is based in Bradley, Huddersfield, however, a significant number of our students are based in Bradford and therefore regular travel within the city would be required.

Closing date: 7 April 2024

Salary:
£28,350.00-£33,075.00 per year
