Our Local Services Teams Are An Essential Part Of How NSPCC’s Three Main Strategic Goals Will Be Delivered

In 2021, the NSPCC announced a new 10+ year strategy to make the biggest impact we can to stop child abuse and neglect.

• Everyone plays their part to prevent child abuse.
• Every child is safe online.
• Children feel safe, listened to and supported.

Local Services brings together our work in schools, local campaigning and our direct services across 9 regions and nations. The North West Schools Service team plays an integral part of our mission as it’s responsible for delivering the schools offer.

• Do you have experience of delivering programmes in an educational or safeguarding setting?
• Have you recent experience of following safeguarding procedures?
• Do you have well-developed stakeholder relationship management skills?
• Have you enjoyed working with diverse groups of people?
• Do you have relevant volunteer recruitment, management and supervision experience?
• Have you experience of working towards and meeting set targets/KPIs?
• Would you work well as part of a remote team?

If so, we would love you to apply for the Schools Coordinator position.
