You will play a key role in supporting the Head of Safeguarding in the operational success of the Safeguarding department across its range of activities. BPP takes its duty to safeguard its students seriously. At BPP, we believe that every student has the right to learn in a safe and inclusive environment. Sharing our passion for this, you will manage and respond to Safeguarding and Prevent referrals, applying your previous experience to support students and employees to better understand Safeguarding and Prevent issues and requirements.

In addition, you’ll have the flexibility of a home-based role, with the option to work from one of our centres should you wish.

In addition, you’ll work alongside other like-minded professionals who champion progress, while having opportunities to develop in an environment where creativity and innovation is rewarded. On top of a competitive salary, we provide a generous annual leave entitlement of 28 days, and there’s a rewards package that includes retail discounts, Group Personal Pension Plan, dedicated healthcare and dental plans that offer additional assurance to look after you and your family.
