About the role
Here in Cambridgeshire, we are committed to safeguarding adults and our dynamic forward-thinking Learning and Development team have an exciting opportunity for a part-time (16hrs) safeguarding trainer to join us and continue to put adults at the heart of everything that we do.
We are looking for a knowledgeable, passionate, and effective trainer to join this busy team to support the ongoing preventative agenda of safeguarding adults. The team provides different levels of learning and development sessions at various venues throughout the county, including virtual delivery and tailored bespoke sessions for our teams and organisations at venues chosen by them.
You’ll be joining a welcoming and friendly Adults' team of around 12, and the wider Learning and Development Team of 40 colleagues. We support the learning and development of colleagues through our Learning Management System which hosts e-learning modules and a booking system for face-to-face and online training. Alongside this, we support staff to complete work-based qualifications.
What will you be doing?
The role will include working with the Learning & Development team to develop materials for training sessions, to ensure course content is up to date and relevant to practice, for example, the Care Act 2014 and how this reflects into practice using the ‘Making Safeguarding Personal’ agenda. The role is varied, with a wide scope to continue to improve and expand knowledge in this key area of practice including related legislation such as the Mental Capacity Act and the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards.
The postholder will be able to work flexibly from home or from our Stanton House office in Huntingdon and other offices around the County when the need arises. We are also able to offer flexible working patterns allowing everyone to effectively blend their work and life commitments. At Cambridgeshire County Council, we know that we work better if we can have flexibility in our working arrangements, and we want to help everyone to achieve this, so please talk to us about the working pattern that would most suit you to be successful in this role.
For more information or to chat about this opportunity please contact: Christine Jones on 07769 882 831 or Christine.Jones@cambridgeshire.gov.uk
Interviews will be taking place on 9th December via Microsoft Teams.
