London, United Kingdom NHS Professionals Full time

**Job Title**:Mental Health Act Administrator

**Trust:Camden & Islington NHS Foundation Trust**

**Location**: Edgware Community Hospital, Burnt Oak Broadway, Edgware, Middlesex HA8 0AD

**Pay Rates: £13.44**

**Shift Patterns: Monday-Friday 9-5**

**Is business administration repetitive or boring?**

It’s neither, this couldn’t be further from the truth, the NHS must be well organised and keep detailed records of patients and staff across several wards.

You’ll support the ability for patients or other organisations to see or speak to the right person at the right time who can give them the help they need.

This could be booking an appointment, getting medical advice, or helping a patient navigate the trust when they visit.

So overall administration isn’t boring, it’s varied.

**You will find solutions to everyday problems, such as**:

- The post involves carrying out administrative procedures in respect of the Mental Health Act and assisting the Mental Health Law department in the implementation of policies and procedures regarding the Mental Health Act and associated legislation and guidance
- Scrutinise legal documents to determine whether legal procedures have been followed correctly relating to the care for and treatment of service users. Make judgments as to if and how rectifications can be made where validity of recording of legal procedures is in doubt, and judge where advice must be sought from a more senior colleague.
- Maintain appropriate physical and electronic filing systems for Mental Health Act forms and associated documentation.
- Accurately record Mental Health Act data, following agreed procedures, on systems provided for this purpose.
- Monitor day-to-day compliance with the Mental Health Act and Code of Practice and take appropriate action to facilitate compliance within required timescales - including undertaking administrative actions as delegated by the Board, providing reminders to clinicians, and escalating issues appropriately.
- Provide service users and their nearest relatives with accurate and up-to-date information about detention and rights.

**What you will need**:

- Excellent communication skills
- both verbal and written
- Microsoft office skills
- Outlook, Word, and Excel
- There is a frequent requirement for sitting in a restricted position for substantial periods of time; usually at a desk.
- Some light lifting is required, such as with the movement of files.
- There are frequent requirements for concentration when scrutinising statutory documents and dealing with complex legal issues.
- Occasional indirect exposure to highly distressing information when scrutinising statutory documentation and reports.
- Approximately 85% of the working week is spent in front of a visual display unit.
- There may be some exposure to verbal aggression when visiting clinical areas.

This role may require you to show evidence of vocational level 3 qualification or at least 2 years relevant experience.

**The benefits we can offer you in return**:

- Putting People in Places to Care - be part of the NHSP community, by joining the bank and caring for patients with a team of people from all walks of life.
- Weekly pay to give you access to your wages more quickly.
- First choice of shifts/placements at the Trust of your choice over agencies.
- Our team is always happy to help - access our support line any time.
- Working options to suit your lifestyle - being on the bank gives you the flexibility to work the shifts you want or choose fixed term placements.
- Training and development opportunities via the Trust and NHSP’s own academy.
- Explore different wards, keep your skills up to date whilst gaining vital experience.
- Being part of the NHSP Community means you’ll get access to member activities such as member of the month, member appreciation week, key date giveaways, webinar series and much more.
