"Safeguarding and Inclusion Officer"

University College Birmingham is growing, and we are looking for a Safeguarding and Inclusion Officer to join our busy and friendly safeguarding team, part of the Student Support and Wellbeing directorate.

This role involves supporting the Designated Safeguarding Lead and Head of FE Pastoral Support in ensuring the safety, welfare and engagement of all students, aged 16+, across both college and university courses.

The SIO will proactively support student welfare and engagement by addressing low-level safeguarding concerns, promoting re-engagement in education, reducing barriers to academic success and reducing the likelihood of escalation of risk.

The successful candidate will be responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing safeguarding risks, providing early interventions and targeted support for vulnerable students, including those under local authority care, young carers, and care-experienced individuals.

The SIO will foster a culture of safety, respect, and inclusion through individual casework, collaborative working with internal and external stakeholders, and the coordination and delivery of group activities and training that promote wellbeing, behaviour for learning, and positive outcomes.
