Safeguarding and Reviewing Officer, Leeds City Council
Pay rate to £33.36 per hour 
Vitalis are recruiting for experienced Safeguarding and Reviewing Officer to work in a team in Leeds City Council. 
 
We are looking for 1 Safeguarding and Reviewing Officer, to undertake child protection conference chairing. 
The responsibilities of the role include:
Chairing:

• To chair Initial and Review Child Protection Conferences on behalf of the safeguarding children’s board, and liaise appropriately with operational staff.
• To ensure that the child’s wishes and feelings are represented in conferences even if they are not attending
• To facilitate parental and, where appropriate extended family attendance at conferences

Quality Assurance and Performance Monitoring

• To participate in a monitoring system that establishes if attendance is appropriate and if child protection plans are being implemented.
• To collate information arising from reviews and conferences relating to policy, practice, resources and inter-agency participation as requested by the co-ordinator.
• To contribute to monitoring reports submitted to senior management.

All initial child protection conferences are held in person across Leeds in council offices, RCPCs can be held virtually and there is hybrid working when not in conference. The role therefore is in person with some virtual/remote working.
