Job ref: ec38f9757d5843f581e1fe7a168fa29f
Full Job Description
The post holder will be in regular communication with clinicians re MCA caselaw developments to ensure seamless delivery of the Trust responsibilities under the Mental Capacity Act and (Amendment) Act 2019.
The post holder will be required to engage with the Trust Solicitor (and other professionals) to ensure that practice meets current legal requirements and where this is not clear helping to facilitate application(s) to the Court of Protection.
The post holder will manage and prioritise all incoming and outgoing communications relating to their role responsibilities and will initiate responses where appropriate, demonstrating at all times a high level of discretion and confidentiality while ensuring responses to deadlines and targets are met.
The post holder will undertake and assist staff to undertake MCA assessments providing specialist advice to staff in this area.
Work with frontline staff to build on and develop excellent practice for people who may lack capacity in relation to decisions around their care and support.
The post holder will be responsible for writing and reviewing the Mental Capacity Act and Deprivations of Liberty Safeguards Policies.
Responsible for the devising and delivery of MCA/LPS training programmes
Undertake MCA audits and make recommendations to improve quality across the Trust
It is essential that you have an extensive knowledge and experience of the MCA and knowledge of the Mental Health Act 1983 (MHA), preferably qualified as a Best Interest Assessor or Approved Mental Health Professional.
You will be working closely with clinicians and managers at all levels both providing face to face training and devising other resources to ensure that the Trust is able to meet the increased demands of the MCA and Court of Protection work. You will need to be both proactive and responsive with a real eye for detail and excellent organisational skills.
This is a varied role focussed on both people and processes. You will need to thrive on juggling constantly competing priorities, dealing with people and challenges from ward to Board (and vice versa) and be genuinely committed to encouraging and effecting long-term improvements in the provision of care and treatment to people who may lack the capacity to decide for themselves.
The post holder will be expected to contribute to the development of any new legislative requirements relating to the Mental Capacity Act including (potentially) the delayed Liberty Protection Safeguards., We not only recruit based on qualifications & experience - we recruit individuals who possess & demonstrate the behaviours which underpin our Trusts core values. These include such attributes as showing a commitment to quality of care, improving lives of others, giving respect, dignity & compassion. We can bring those values to life in our everyday tasks by giving a smile; making time for people; challenging ourselves & others, & being open to new ideas.
We are committed to being an inclusive employer & applications are encouraged & welcomed from all sections of the community, regardless of any protected characteristics as governed by the Equality Act 2010. Part time & flexible working applications will be considered & supported, where possible. We particularly encourage applicants with lived experience of mental health conditions, neurodiversity or learning disabilities. We are a Disability Confident Leader.

We are passionate about promoting good mental health & wellbeing. We strive to use the expertise & resources within our organisation, and through our partnerships, to deliver high quality services that are safe & focused on people's recovery.
