You will play a key role in responding to safeguarding concerns involving adults at risk, working collaboratively with partner agencies to assess information, identify immediate risks and coordinate appropriate interventions. This is a fast-paced role requiring sound professional judgement, excellent communication skills and the ability to manage competing priorities effectively.
Your responsibilities will include screening and reviewing referrals, completing proportionate safeguarding enquiries, undertaking risk assessments and making informed decisions in line with relevant legislation, policy and professional standards. You will work closely with health services, the police, housing providers, care agencies and other professionals to share information appropriately and develop person-centred plans.
