Job title: Interim Safeguarding and Wellbeing Co-ordinator
Contract Type: Fixed Term Maternity Cover until mid-Jan 2026
Hours: Part-time (22.5 hours over 3 days a week)
Salary: Regional £28,728 - £30,265, London £31,289 - £32,826 per annum (based on full-time salary of Regional £38,304 - £40,354, London £41,719 - £43,769 per annum)
The role: Friends of the Earth believes that safeguarding and wellbeing support for our staff, boards, volunteers and activist networks is central to ensuring that we are a safe and inclusive space in which everyone can participate. This position will lead, manage and maintain our safeguarding systems and processes, as well as some key wellbeing projects. The jobholder will ensure that staff, volunteers and activists adhere to all legal requirements and best practices to keep everyone safe and happy in their work and activism.
Key Skills and Attributes: You will need to demonstrate specialised knowledge and significant experience of adult and child safeguarding in a variety of UK-based settings, including at residential events. A demonstrable understanding of contextual safeguarding and the critique of mainstream safeguarding approaches among marginalised communities is also essential – particularly understanding the perspective of racialised minorities and disabled people, and the intersection between mental health needs and safeguarding.
The team: This role reports to the Head of Culture & Change and you will work with our People team, the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Manager, our Learning & Change team, as well as the three Nations and the Youth & Families teams to build on previous work.
