Description
Are you interested in developing a career in safeguarding? The Band 7 Safeguarding Adults Practitioner post is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced registered nurse or allied health care professional to develop key knowledge, skills and experience as part of a busy Safeguarding Team.
Working with victims and survivors of domestic abuse, professional abuse, modern day slavery, cuckooing, homelessness, radicalisation, trafficking, exploitation and many other types of abuse - no two days are the same.
The Safeguarding Adults Practitioner will manage the day-to-day referrals received by the team, meeting with staff and patients as required. Working closely with external agencies such as Adult Social Care, the Police and Domestic Abuse Outreach services they will co-ordinate care to facilitate safe outcomes for victims and survivors of abuse.
The Safeguarding Adults Practitioner will support the Safeguarding Adults Nurse Leads in the delivery of Trust wide safeguarding training, communications and representation at various forums. They will also work with other members of the multi-disciplinary team in order to provide patient-centred outcomes and coordinate responses for safeguarding enquiries.
The successful candidate will need to be forward thinking, have a problem-solving approach, and the ability to prioritise tasks and keep track of unfinished tasks, so will need excellent personal organisation and communication skills.
The post holder will provide clinical leadership, expert advice, support, supervision and training to staff within Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust (RSFT) on all matters relating to safeguarding adults.
Royal Surrey is a compassionate and collaborative acute and community Trust. Recognising that our 5000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing program along with a commitment to developing and advancing your career. Our diverse and welcoming Royal Surrey family will ensure you that you feel valued from your initial interview through your entire tenure.
We are clinically led and provide joined up care by bridging the gap between hospital and community services alongside regional specialist cancer care. Our main acute hospital site is in Guildford with community hospital sites at Milford, Haslemere and Cranleigh. We provide adult community health services in homes across Guildford and Waverley.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) have given us an overall rating of Outstanding.
Royal Surrey has a strong reputation and history to build on. We are proud of our achievements and we are investing in our colleagues through our commitment to supporting professional development as well as investing more than £45 million in our physical environment and new equipment in the next few years. There has never been a better time to join us.
Although it isn't the Trusts normal practice, adverts may close early, so you are encouraged to submit an application as soon as possible.
