This is an exciting opportunity for a Registered Health or Social Care professional to join our NHS Trust as a Lead in the Safeguarding Adult / Mental Capacity Act Team.
The post provides the opportunity to work with a variety of health and social care colleagues on all aspects of Adult Safeguarding and Mental Capacity Act legal duties.

This will include taking a lead role in ensuring there are consistent and effective operational responses to safeguarding adult concerns within TSDFT regulatory settings and ensuring all (regulated) clinical staff understand their roles in keeping people safe from abuse or neglect and responding to adult abuse concerns.
If you enjoy working in a varied and busy environment and have a passion for upholding human rights principles, we would love to hear from you.

Using intelligent monitoring, the post holder will collect and analyse information about the effectiveness of systems and processes and will implement action plans in response as needed.
