Safeguarding Adults Lead Band 8a
Safeguarding Adults is a key priority for the Trust. We are a dedicated safeguarding adults team comprising of practitioners from a variety of disciplines and specialities who work with Trust staff to ensure that high quality safe care is offered to all vulnerable adults who access Trust services.
We are looking for an exceptional individual with a keen interest and understanding of safeguarding to join the team to continue to provide advice and support to staff in all safeguarding issues, DoLS assessments, implementing the Liberty Protection Safeguards and in the care of people with dementia or a learning disability. As part of the team, the post holder will also ensure that where abuse is identified it is responded to in a speedy and appropriate manner in line with the agreed Trust and multi-agency procedures. The post will provide an excellent learning environment especially in the care of vulnerable adults.
If you are motivated by the need to ensure that the rights of vulnerable people are safeguarded and upheld, this is the job for you. You will have the opportunity to influence the care that adults at risk receive within the Trust that will result in positive individual experiences for patients.
