2 weeks ago


Sheffield, United Kingdom Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a suitable experienced and highly motivated practitioner to support the establishment of a new team to implement the roles and responsibilities for the Liberty Protection Safeguards within Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The successful applicant will have an in-depth knowledge of the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and the Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) with experience of working within a complex health or social care organisation.

The post holder will work closely with the Operational Lead and the Senior Practitioner for the LPS Team to ensure the Mental Capacity Act is embedded into every day practice and that patients who are unable to consent to their being in hospital are lawfully detained using the Liberty Protection Safeguards.

You will provide Sheffield Teaching Hospitals staff with expert support, information, training and guidance on issues relating to MCA and deprivation of liberty.

You will support the development of systems and processes to identify patients who may require a deprivation of liberty and assist clinical staff to complete mental capacity assessments and the preparation for the legal authorisation of deprivation of liberty using the Liberty Protection Safeguards.

You will be working for an organisation which values and respects all of its staff and the community it serves. The Trust is a leader in the NHS and research sectors and provides excellent benefits for its staff. This includes commitments to professional development but also many policies to support employees in balancing their personal and professional lives.
