Safeguarding Manager

The Premier League Legal Team are looking for a Safeguarding Manager who will support the organisation’s expanding activities and ensure that safeguarding arrangements remain effective, robust and responsive. The Safeguarding team sits within the Legal department and play a lead role in delivering the highest standards of care and protection for children and adults at risk, while empowering stakeholders to help create safe, inclusive and protective environments across all areas of our work.

Working closely with internal and external stakeholders, the Safeguarding Manager will support the delivery of safeguarding processes, including safe event delivery, preventing online harm, contributing to assurance activity, and responding to concerns, ensuring work is delivered to a high standard and in line with the Premier League’s values.

The Premier League is home to some of the most competitive and compelling football in the world. The League and its Clubs use the power and popularity of the competition to inspire fans, communities and partners in the UK and across the world. The Premier League brings people together from all backgrounds. It is a competition for everyone, everywhere and is available to watch in over 900 million homes in 189 countries.

We have a wide variety of responsibilities. These include organising the competition and its Handbook as well as managing the centralised broadcast and commercial rights. The work we do in conjunction with the Clubs also goes far beyond the 90 minutes. We support and provide a framework for youth development, we protect the organisation’s intellectual property, support the wider game and community programmes, undertake international development work and liaise with governing bodies and other leagues. 

The Premier League is an equal opportunities employer and strives to create an inclusive culture where talent can flourish. We believe in the potential of everyone and open our doors to those who share those values. All appointments will be made based on merit; however, we particularly encourage applications from women, people from minority ethnic communities, LGBTQ+ people and disabled people.  

Our hybrid-working model also allows you some variety on your place of work, offering you the chance to work from home on some days each week. Where possible, you will attend the office or site visits in line with our company policy. All staff liaise closely with their line manager to manage their time appropriately and according to their work and team requirements.
