Safeguarding Assistant

It is an exciting time to join TKS. Over the last three years, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that TKS is a special place for our students. Our campus based Key Stage offer has brought about a significant shift in our school’s culture and reputation and we are delighted that our most recent Ofsted visit in February 2026 recognised the huge advancements the school has made. Our children are happy here, our staff are proud to work here and our parents would recommend the school. We are delighted to share this unique opportunity for a Safeguarding Assistant. Safeguarding is central to all aspects of students' education at TKS and all of our staff recognise that safeguarding is everyone's moral as well as statutory responsibility. In September 2026, we will be joined by a new Assistant Headteacher and Designated Safeguarding Lead who comes with significant safeguarding experience from another local Secondary school. Our current Operational Safeguarding lead is well established in the role and will be instrumental in supporting and guiding the newly appointed Safeguarding Assistant. It is therefore an exciting time to be joining a committed and passionate team of safeguarding who between them have both a wealth of experience and the drive to shape the future of safeguarding for our students. Please note that we are keen to recruit the right candidate so due to timeframes, we will interview early for strong applications and may therefore close this advert at the time of appointment. Our leadership team is dedicated to creating a school where staff and students feel valued, supported and proud to belong. We believe in high standards, strong relationships and a genuine sense of community. At Kingsway, the core purpose of every teacher is to deliver consistently high-quality teaching and learning so that every student can achieve their full potential. We are looking for teachers with vision and creativity who can strengthen curriculum implementation within their subject and secure ambitious outcomes for our diverse, comprehensive intake. Our best teachers are reflective, kind and community-minded, combining innovation with attention to detail and consistently high expectations.
