Gloucester, United Kingdom Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our safeguarding team in Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust as Named Lead for Safeguarding Adults. The post holder will be a senior and integral part of the safeguarding team and will work closely with the Head of Safeguarding, Named Safeguarding Professionals, and Director and Deputy Director of Nursing to deliver our statutory safeguarding requirements.

The post holder will provide adult safeguarding expertise and leadership within GHC and represent across health and the multi-agency partnership. The role is pivotal to complex case management, improved partnership working and quality assurance.

Advise and support colleagues to ensure the appropriate assessment of risks are undertaken in order to improve outcomes for adults with care and support needs.

Work closely and collaboratively with internal and external providers/commissioners and partner agencies to support investigations regarding safeguarding adults with care and support needs.

Build and maintain effective working relationships across all agencies to improve Making Safeguarding Personal for adults who use services, working in partnership to promote a person-centred approach.

Professionally lead and operationally manage members of the safeguarding team, including the Safeguarding Adult Practitioners and the Mental Capacity Act/Liberty Protection Safeguards Lead.

At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it. This is the same approach we take for our employees. We look to value the skills and experiences of those we work with, whether they are service users, carers, families or those looking to work with us.

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards. The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.

Our Staff Survey results showed people at our Trust feel they are engaged, part of a team and work for a compassionate and inclusive organisation.

Our overall scores were better than average in eight of nine themes and level in one - the best overall results for a community, mental health and learning disabilities Trust in the south west and first equal amongst all sector NHS providers within the region too.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.
