Do you have excellent communication and listening skills and are able to maintain a professional attitude in high pressured situations? If the answer is yes then maybe you would like to join our team of flexible Appropriate Adults to help support vulnerable detainees through police interviews and procedures.

**Job Purpose**:
The role of an Appropriate Adult is to support, advise and assist a vulnerable person who has been arrested through police interviews, and other formal police procedures in custody. The role is an active one where you will be expected to advise and support the detainee through the processes, ensure the person is treated fairly by the police, ensure the persons rights and entitlements are upheld, and to facilitate communication between the person and the police, ensuring that they understand all of what is happening to them. Full training is provided.

The service provides support to South Wales, Dyfed Powys and Gwent police 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. When an AA is required, the police will contact our on-call team, who will then pass the job onto the AAs. Primarily attendance will be at custody suites, however this is not exclusive and local stations are occasionally requested. Ability to attend at least one local custody suite within 60 minutes is essential.

**Responsibilities**:

- Supporting vulnerable people in custody and local stations to ensure the protection of their rights and entitlements.
- Ensure that all police procedures are completed fairly, and in accordance with the relevant legislation (Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984).
- Assist and support communication between the person and the police.
- Ensure that the person you support understands each process that they participate in.
- Complete relevant forms for all calls to custody.
- Raise any concerns you may have regarding a person’s mental health or capacity.

A oes gennych sgiliau cyfathrebu a gwrando ardderchog ac yn gallu cynnal agwedd broffesiynol mewn sefyllfaoedd lle mae pwysau mawr? Os mai 'ydw' yw'r ateb, efallai yr hoffech chi ymuno â'n tîm o Oedolion Priodol hyblyg i helpu i gefnogi carcharorion sy'n agored i niwed trwy gyfweliadau a gweithdrefnau'r heddlu.

Pwrpas y Swydd: Rôl Oedolyn Priodol yw cefnogi, cynghori a chynorthwyo person bregus sydd wedi cael ei arestio trwy gyfweliadau heddlu, a gweithdrefnau heddlu ffurfiol eraill yn y ddalfa.

Bydd presenoldeb yn y dalfeydd yn bennaf, fodd bynnag nid yw hyn yn gyfyngedig a gofynnir yn achlysurol am orsafoedd lleol. Mae'r gallu i fynychu o leiaf un dalfa leol o fewn 60 munud yn hanfodol.

Cyfrifoldebau: Cefnogi pobl sy'n agored i niwed yn y ddalfa a gorsafoedd lleol i sicrhau bod eu hawliau'n cael eu hamddiffyn. Sicrhau bod holl weithdrefnau’r heddlu’n cael eu cwblhau’n deg, ac yn unol â’r ddeddfwriaeth berthnasol (Deddf yr Heddlu a Thystiolaeth Droseddol 1984).
