About the Role
We are thrilled to announce a new opportunity within our service, and we're counting on you to join us and lend your support. As a Best Interest Assessor (BIA), your role is crucial when an individual is unable to provide informed consent for their care or treatment due to a lack of mental capacity. In such cases, decisions regarding treatment must be made with the client's best interests as the priority - and that's where your expertise comes in.
You'll play a vital role in enhancing awareness and understanding of the Mental Capacity Act and the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) within the service. This includes, but is not limited to:
Balancing an individual's right to autonomy and self-determination with their right to safety, responding appropriately and proportionately.
Making well-informed, independent best interest decisions within the framework of a DoLS assessment.
