At Cedars, we have a strong reputation as a popular and high-performing school. Our achievements were further highlighted by the excellent set of results our students attained in both GCSE and A-Level examinations in summer 2026. Building on these successes, we are determined to reach new heights and aspire for an outstanding status. A large number of our sixth form students move onto Russell Group universities where they continue to flourish.
Currently, we are seeking an exceptional Safeguarding and Family Liaison Officer to join our school. The role provides administrative, operational and frontline support to our Safeguarding and Inclusion teams, ensuring that safeguarding compliance is maintained and that all student cases are documented accurately. You would coordinate Early Help Assessments and Team Around the Child meetings, maintain organised and compliant safeguarding records, act as a point of contact for external multi-agency partners, and handle sensitive calls with parents and carers in an empathetic, professional and reassuring way. You would also work with students and families to address barriers to attendance and help every student feel a sense of belonging in school.
You will be organised, discreet and emotionally resilient, with strong communication skills, accurate record-keeping and a genuine motivation to work with children and young people. Experience of administration is essential, and experience of working in a school, pastoral or safeguarding environment would be an advantage. A Level 2 qualification in a relevant subject (or equivalent) is required.
Come and be a part of our extraordinary team at Cedars Upper, where positivity, growth and achievement flourish.
Please note that the application process will remain open until we receive a sufficient number of applications, but the final closing date is 9am on Friday 20th November 2026 . Interviews will be conducted shortly after.
