We have an exciting opportunity for a Safeguarding Lead to work with our existing team of volunteers at Hyde Little Theatre.
The role exists to ensure the safeguarding and welfare of all people, young or old, who are involved with theatrical performances or other activities at our home, Studio 9.
Hyde Little Theatre is well-known for our high quality plays and pantomimes as we've been running since 1967, but we also have a range of other activities each week. These cater for a broad spectrum of local people of all ages and backgrounds, from our 100+ strong Youth Theatre for young people aged 4-18, to baby groups, Pilates, meditation and community lunches.
This role would suit someone with a background in child services, teaching or a related area, with existing knowledge of safeguarding legislation and procedures. However, we can provide support for the right candidate.
Start date: 6th August 2024
