Safeguarding Lead Trustee Vacancy

Written By Callum Fairhurst

We’re on a mission to make sure every bereaved sibling feels seen, heard and supported, can you help us?

Sibling Support is on the search for a new trustee, to hold responsibility as Safeguarding Lead, and join our proactive and committed board of trustees!

About the charity

Every year around 4,000 young people die in the UK before they’ve had a chance to live their lives to the fullest. Beside many of those is a sibling. 

We believe that siblings are overlooked when it comes to grief, so we help them, and those around them, navigate their way through tough times.

From specially designed resources, where thousands are ordered every year, to training, advice and information. Check out our website (www.siblingsupport.co.uk) to see more. 

We are looking for a new Trustee who can hold the responsibility as our Safeguarding Lead. 

How you can help us:

  • Lead our approach to safeguarding, ensuring our Safeguarding policy and practices remain robust and up to date.

  • Use your safeguarding experience to inform our approach to safeguarding incidents and disclosures.

  • Use your skills and/or network to help the charity and its beneficiaries.
