We’re looking for a dedicated and compassionate Safeguarding & Inclusion Specialist to join a welcoming and inclusive Further Education college in the Oxford area this September.

This is a rewarding opportunity to play a key role in promoting learner wellbeing, supporting vulnerable students, and ensuring every learner has access to a safe, supportive, and inclusive educational experience.

• Working closely with designated safeguarding leads and wider student support teams
• Liaising with parents, carers, local authorities, social care teams, and external agencies
• Maintaining accurate safeguarding records, reports, and case documentation
• Supporting risk assessments, action plans, and safeguarding investigations where required
• Promoting a culture of inclusion, equality, and learner wellbeing across the college
• Identifying barriers to learning and coordinating appropriate support for learners
• Providing advice and guidance to staff and learners on safeguarding and inclusion matters

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience within safeguarding, inclusion, pastoral support, student welfare, youth work, education, or a related field
• Strong understanding of safeguarding legislation and best practice
• Knowledge of supporting learners with additional needs and barriers to learning
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to manage sensitive situations with professionalism, empathy, and discretion
• Experience working with young people or vulnerable adults
• Strong organisational and record-keeping skills
• A genuine commitment to learner wellbeing, inclusion, and positive outcomes

Why Apply?

• Temporary opportunity
• September start
• Supportive and inclusive college environment
• Opportunity to make a genuine difference to learners’ lives
• Collaborative and rewarding team culture
• Varied and meaningful role with real impact
• Be part of a team dedicated to safeguarding, inclusion, and student success

If you’re looking for a rewarding opportunity where you can help create safer, more inclusive learning environments while supporting learners to overcome barriers and achieve their goals, we’d love to hear from you.
