The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Team is seeking an excellent administrator to join our busy and supportive team. The team handles complex work upholding the Human Rights of people who lack mental capacity to make their own decisions about where they live and the care and support they need. The administrators are an essential and valued part of the team and co-ordinate the many aspects of our work. The rest of the team are Best Interests Assessors (with backgrounds in social work or nursing).

The admin role also involves liaising with members of the public, care homes, doctors, adult social care staff and advocates. The admin role is very varied and responsible and includes: covering processing referrals, sending out documents to relevant people, assigning work to doctors and external advocates, dealing with purchasing and invoicing and maintaining data bases. It is essential that the work is carried out accurately while also meeting deadlines. The team mainly works remotely but is based in Shrewsbury. Arrangements can be made for a successful applicant who is unable to work from home. We are open to considering flexible working arrangements while ensuring that there is adequate cover during core office hours. Supervision is given monthly and there are regular team meetings.
