- Acting as Safeguarding Adults Manager (SAM) where required, overseeing safeguarding enquiries and supporting less experienced practitioners undertaking investigations.
- Identifying and responding to safeguarding concerns, ensuring appropriate action is taken in accordance with multi-agency safeguarding procedures.
- Completing Mental Capacity Assessments and contributing to Best Interest decision-making processes where required.
- Supporting the use of assistive technology, Telecare, and other innovative solutions to maximise independence and reduce reliance on long-term support.
- Managing a complex caseload whilst supporting the wider team in prioritising work and responding to competing service demands.
- Working collaboratively with health professionals, voluntary organisations, care providers, police, commissioning teams, finance colleagues, and other stakeholders to achieve positive outcomes.
- Chairing professional meetings, safeguarding meetings, case conferences, MDTs, and other case management discussions as required.
- Preparing and presenting detailed reports, assessments, recommendations, and funding requests for management consideration.
- Maintaining accurate, timely, and legally compliant records using electronic case management systems.
- Providing supervision, mentoring, guidance, and professional support to registered and non-registered Adult Social Care professionals.
- Contributing to service development, continuous improvement initiatives, and the promotion of best practice across Adult Social Care.
