Help shape a safeguarding culture where people’s rights, voices and lives truly matter.
For 50 years, Dimensions has supported adults with learning disabilities and autistic people to live with greater choice, control and independence. Everything we do is rooted in our belief in better lives for more people – and safeguarding is fundamental to making that vision a reality.
We are now seeking a Safeguarding Panel Chair who not only brings deep safeguarding expertise, but who strongly aligns to our values and shares our commitment to dignity, human rights and person-centred support.
About the role
As Chair of the Group Safeguarding Panel, you will provide independent leadership and constructive challenge, ensuring robust oversight, strong assurance and continuous learning across the organisation.
The Panel plays a critical governance role, offering assurance to the Group Board that safeguarding responsibilities are fully embedded in everyday practice and that concerns are addressed openly, proportionately and with the individual at the centre.
Occasional visits to engage with people we support and colleagues will form a valuable part of the role.

We are particularly interested in candidates who bring their whole self to governance – your professional insight, personal values and life experience all matter.
