Family Engagement & Safeguarding Officer

The Governors are seeking to appoint a flexible, reliable and enthusiastic Family Engagement
and Safeguarding Officer to join our Safeguarding and Well-Being Team. The successful
candidate will work with families, staff and children to maintain and develop standards of
safeguarding and inclusion. Our students are at the heart of all that we do and we have worked
hard to establish a culture where they feel safe, happy and wanting to succeed.

Heston Community School is a successful, vibrant, happy and oversubscribed school where
'pupils have high aspirations and want to succeed in education. Leaders have established the
right school climate for them to do so. Pupils achieve very well in a wide range of subjects in
the main school and sixth form' [OFSTED December 2022]. We are now seeking to appoint an
individual who shares our passion for learning and our determination to change lives through
the education we provide.

Heston Community School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of
children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The
successful applicant will have to meet the requirements of the person specification in order
to be offered the post and will be subject to an enhanced DBS check. We welcome applications
from all members of our community.

We believe that schools 'can' and 'do' make a difference and change lives and that the most
important resource in any school is its staff. The success of Heston Community School is due
to our dedicated, committed, experienced and enthusiastic staff.
