The Funder Safeguarding Collaborative (FSC) is committed to building a world where safety and wellbeing are at the heart of every organisation.

Position summary

FSC’s team of Safeguarding Advisors brings context-specific knowledge and expertise to ensure our work reflects the specific opportunities and challenges in embedding safeguarding across distinct legal, social and cultural contexts.

A large percentage of FSC’s members fund internationally, across multiple regions and countries. Many are based in Europe, and we expect the number of these global grant-makers to grow in the future.

To meet the needs of these members, it is essential that the resources and technical support provided by FSC reflect the legal and regulatory complexities when funding internationally.

Reporting to the Executive Director, and in close coordination with the Technical Director and a team of Advisors, the Safeguarding Advisor – International, will play a key role in developing and delivering technical support and training to our members who fund internationally, with a focus on funders based on the European continent.
