We are St Andrew's. We are a mental health Charity and our purpose is to inspire hope for those living with complex mental health needs.

**The role**

The Caseworker role is to provide administration of the Mental Health Act 1983, the Mental Capacity Act, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards, Irish High Court Orders and associated legislation outside of the UK.

- Co-ordinating Hospital Manager reviews and First Tier Tribunals.
- Ensuring that diary systems and spreadsheets are completed.
- Ensuring that all detained patients are aware of their rights under the Act.
- Giving advice to staff and patients when required.

**A bit about you**

It is essential that you have previous administration experience and are highly proficient in the use of MS Office (Outlook, Word and Excel). We are looking for someone who enjoys the challenge of working in a busy office environment, multi-tasking throughout the day and can prioritise their work to meet the strict deadlines whilst retaining high levels of accuracy and attention to detail.

Excellent communication skills are essential as you will be liaising with internal and external customers of the Charity such as the Care Quality Commission, Ministry of Justice, Solicitors, HM Prisons, First Tier Tribunal for Mental Health, Crown and County Courts, Hospital Managers, other Hospitals, patients and their relatives.

Knowledge of RIO, NHS Mail and Criminal Justice Secure Mail would be advantageous and knowledge of the Mental Health Act and Data Protection Act would also benefit the right individual, although training can be provided.

You will be part of a team covering both Northampton and Regional sites. Travel to Essex and Birmingham may be occasionally required.
- Our patients and your colleagues will expect you to live the St Andrew’s CARE values of Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence every single day._
