The team plays a vital role in ensuring children and young people receive the right support at the right time through robust safeguarding processes and collaborative working.

- Strong understanding of safeguarding processes and thresholds.
- Ability to analyse information and make informed recommendations.
- Excellent communication and partnership-working skills.
- Previous MASH experience is desirable.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and high-volume environment.
Working Arrangements
- Full office attendance required during the induction and training period.
- Following successful induction and once established within the team, candidates may work from home up to 2 days per week.
