Are you ready to make a real impact on safeguarding and wellbeing in Birmingham? The Birmingham Safeguarding Adults Board (BSAB) is seeking a proactive, adaptable, and technically confident individual as a Safeguarding Adults Officer. This specialist role offers the chance to work at the heart of a statutory board, shaping strategic initiatives that protect adults with care and support needs from abuse and neglect.
This is not a frontline case management role—instead, you’ll drive strategic projects, coordinate subgroups, and ensure the smooth delivery of events, conferences, and communications.
- Strategic focus – policy development, procedures, audits, annual reports, and dashboards
- Multi-agency collaboration with police, NHS, and local authority partners
- Prevention-driven – supporting initiatives that safeguard vulnerable adults
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead and support subgroups/task & finish groups to deliver board priorities and projects against the strategic workplan
- Organise and run events, including venue liaison, presentations, and contingency planning
- Manage communications and engagement, including newsletters, website updates, and publicity materials
- Demonstrate technical confidence with Microsoft Office, Forms, Sway, Eventbrite, and back-office systems
What We’re Looking For
- Sound understanding of safeguarding adults and experience of multi-agency partnership working
- Up-to-date knowledge of adult safeguarding legislation, policies, and procedures
- Experience in business planning, audits, annual reports, and dashboard management
- Ability to prioritise a diverse workload and lead multidisciplinary projects
- Strong analytical skills to interpret complex, sensitive, and contentious information
- Confident event organiser and communicator
- High level and effective IT skills across Microsoft Office packages and relevant digital platforms
- Flexibility to be able to work in locations where needed.
- Hybrid working (up to 4 days per week office-based) with flexibility on hours.
Why Join Us?
- Be part of a small, dedicated team working face-to-face with partners across Birmingham
- Shape safeguarding arrangements and drive strategic change
