We are excited to be hiring a new Best Interest Assessor to join our fantastic Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS) Team. We are a county-wide team based in Woking, however, there is an opportunity to work flexibly, including from your own home and at other Surrey County Council offices.
"I have been with the team for just over six months and have found the nature of work to be interesting and challenging, but manageable. Having worked independently for years, I was concerned about the move to working within in an established team, but the support available from my colleagues and regular supervision has enabled me to do so with confidence. The management are approachable and available, and encourage a flexible approach to office and home-based working, which increases my productivity and supports 'work life balance'. The ethos of the team is to foster a sense of equality and mutual learning, and to anyone thinking of applying for a position within the team I would highly recommend them to do so". Joe Kelly - Best Interests Assessor.
