Are you a health or social care professional with a passion for Safeguarding Adults?
We have an exciting opportunity for a passionate and experienced Nurse, allied health professional, or social worker to join our Safeguarding Adults Team at SASH NHS Healthcare Trust.
The successful candidate will assist the Named and Lead Nurses for Safeguarding Adults on an operational basis, covering safeguarding, mental capacity act compliance, and deprivation of liberties.
As a first point of contact, you will provide a high-quality safeguarding adults service, offering advice, support, guidance, and education to the multidisciplinary teams within SASH NHS Trust and working closely with external agencies to ensure the safest and best outcomes for our patients who are at risk of, or have suffered harm, abuse, or neglect and have care and support needs and are unable to protect themselves.
This is a development role, and while a good level of knowledge is expected of Safeguarding Adults and Mental Capacity Legislation, training and learning opportunities will be provided.
