An exciting opportunity has arisen for a permanent full time Administration Support Officer (Single Status 6) at St Mary’s House, Eastbourne with the Adult Social Care, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguarding Team.

The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) are part of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. They aim to make sure that people in care homes, hospitals and supported living are looked after in a way that does not inappropriately restrict their freedom. The safeguards should ensure that a care home, hospital or supported living arrangement only deprives someone of their liberty in a safe and correct way, and that this is only done when it is in the best interests of the person and there is no other way to look after them.

You will assist Operational staff to provide a better service to the people of East Sussex. The role will be fast paced and varied and will include minute taking in Safeguarding Adults at Risk Meetings.

You will need to be a great communicator with strong MS Office skills and a real passion for delivering excellent customer service. In return for your commitment ongoing training and development opportunities will be available in a friendly and supportive team.
