Description

About Us

The Oxfordshire Safeguarding Children Partnership (OSCP) is committed to improving outcomes for children and families across the county. Our partnership brings together three statutory safeguarding agencies:

Oxfordshire County Council (Children, Families and Education)
Health (Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board)
Thames Valley Police

Working in line with the Working Together to Safeguard Children 2023 framework, we lead and coordinate local multi-agency safeguarding arrangements, collaborating with a wide range of organisations to protect and promote the welfare of children and young people.

About the Role – OSCP Project Officer

We are looking for a skilled and motivated Project Officer to lead and deliver multi‑agency improvement projects across the safeguarding system in Oxfordshire. This is a specialist change and transformation role, ideal for someone who enjoys collaborative working, system improvement, and seeing projects turn into meaningful outcomes for children and young people.

You will:

Lead and manage end‑to‑end projects across the Partnership, from business case development to implementation and evaluation.

Drive improvements in safeguarding policy, practice, and partnership processes.

Support and strengthen the effectiveness of Oxfordshire’s local safeguarding arrangements.

Work with a wide range of stakeholders to co‑produce solutions and embed new ways of working.

Facilitate workshops, produce reports and data insights, and ensure robust governance and monitoring.

Champion innovation, continuous improvement, and the values of Delivering the Future Together and Children’s Oxfordshire Way.

This is a role with significant scope to shape how our multi‑agency system works — ensuring safeguarding arrangements are strong, coherent, and focused on improving outcomes for children.

About You

You will be an experienced and confident project or change management professional who thrives in a complex, multi‑agency environment.

We are looking for someone who has:

Experience delivering projects or transformation initiatives involving multiple partners.
Knowledge of recognised methodologies (e.g. Prince2, Lean, Prosci) and the ability to apply them effectively.
Strong analytical abilities, including using qualitative and quantitative evidence to drive improvement.

Excellent communication, facilitation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships across organisations.

Proven ability to plan effectively, manage competing priorities, and work flexibly as situations evolve.

High professional integrity, including handling sensitive information appropriately.

Confidence working independently as well as collaboratively.

A commitment to continuous improvement and delivering high‑quality services for children, families, and partners.

Desirable:

Relevant project, programme, service improvement, or change management qualifications (e.g., APM, Prince2, MSP, Lean, Prosci).
Experience within local government or safeguarding environments.

Most importantly, you will be someone who shares our values: Always learning | Being kind & caring | Equality & integrity | Taking responsibility | Daring to do things differently.
