We are pleased to present this opportunity within our Learning Disability Team. This position requires a valid qualification in Social Work or Nursing, along with current registration with the relevant professional body.

Role Overview

In this role, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team dedicated to supporting individuals with learning disabilities who have various care and support requirements.

The successful candidates will be tasked with managing Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications to the Court of Protection (COP).

A solid understanding of The Care Act 2014, statutory responsibilities, and familiarity with the COP application process, DoLS legislation, and associated documentation is essential. Experience with the Mental Capacity Act, conducting mental capacity assessments, and adhering to best interest principles is also required.

You will be expected to work independently while managing a diverse and complex caseload. Collaboration with our Learning Disability case management teams, legal departments, service providers, healthcare professionals, families, and advocacy services will be crucial.

Timely execution of tasks is essential, and you will need to prioritize effectively while working with colleagues to gather necessary evidence for DoLS applications.

This role will involve travel across the region, and having access to a vehicle is necessary to fulfill the demands of the position. Mileage claims will be reimbursed for travel from the office to appointments.

Although this role is focused on DoLS work, there may be occasions when the practitioner will need to engage in other Adult Care assessments or respond to emergencies or safeguarding issues as required by the service.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Manage a designated caseload of clients within the Learning Disability service, whether in supported living arrangements or their own homes.
  • Review existing DoLS orders in collaboration with key workers to assess current care provisions, restrictions, and the individual's capacity to understand and consent to their care.
  • Engage with relevant stakeholders to determine if the care remains in the individual's best interests and is the least restrictive option available.
  • Complete DoLS application documentation, liaising with providers to obtain necessary care plans, risk assessments, and medical evidence.
  • Maintain accurate case notes and records, prepare reports as needed, and provide evidence in court when required.
  • Support families in understanding the DoLS process and facilitate communication with independent advocacy services as appropriate.
  • Work within established timeframes while fostering effective relationships with legal services.
Our standard office hours are Monday to Thursday from 08:45 to 17:15 and Friday from 08:45 to 16:45. A blend of home-based and office work is currently in practice, with a requirement for office attendance to meet service needs.

Candidate Profile

We value our teams and the service provided; thus, it is crucial to recruit individuals who can contribute positively to our mission.

Candidates must possess a valid qualification in Social Work or Nursing and demonstrate current registration with the appropriate regulatory body. The nursing qualification does not need to be specific to Learning Disabilities.

Ideal candidates will exhibit the following skills and attributes:
  • Self-motivation, enthusiasm, and resilience.
  • Respect for individuals, ensuring dignity in all interactions.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to interpret both verbal and non-verbal cues.
  • Creative problem-solving abilities.
  • Capability to perform well under pressure or in emergency situations.
Team Overview

The Learning Disability team is dedicated to delivering high-quality service and takes pride in their work. Each member brings unique skills and qualities, fostering a supportive and nurturing environment.

Our Offer

We celebrate our team's achievements and prioritize their well-being. In addition to a competitive salary, we provide:
  • A comprehensive pension scheme
  • Reimbursement for professional registration fees
  • Opportunities for career advancement, including training for Practice Educator/AMHP roles
  • Generous annual leave
