Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Administrator – 2 posts

We have several exciting opportunities that have arisen within The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS) Team

Salary:  £20,903- £23,541 per annum (Grade 6)

37 Hours per week

(Applications are also invited from anyone wishing to offer part time hours)

1 x permanent role

1 x fixed term contract to the end of March 2023

About us:

The team’s Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards responsibilities are centred around ensuring that vulnerable adults, who lack capacity to consent but need to be accommodated under care and treatment regimes that may have the effect of depriving them of their liberty, have their best interests protected in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Code of Practice.

You will:

  • play a key role in the processing of DOLS referrals, ensuring statutory timescales are met and are line with DOLS Code of Practice.
  • communicate with providers, assessors and members of the public
