The Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) team is looking to fill a full time (35 hour) DoLS coordinator vacancy on a Fixed Term Contract.

DoLS provides a legal framework for service users who lack capacity to be deprived of their liberty in CQC registered care homes and hospitals.  The coordinator plays a key part in processing and triaging referrals, communicating with providers and other professionals as well as service users, families and senior management.

This role will suit someone who is a strong team player has attention to detail  and wants to provide an excellent service.
