We need an experienced worker to join us and work under the Care Act and the Mental Capacity Act, to help us to fulfill our responsibilities to complete assessments and reviews, to commission services, to enquire into safeguarding concerns, and to manage risk. We seek to enable people with learning disabilities to have a good quality of life as they see that to be, to have their rights upheld, and to achieve the outcomes they aspire to. We work with a diverse range of adults of all ages, and from all the communities of Leeds, including those with complex health needs with Continuing Healthcare funding. We also support carers. We need someone who is motivated and proactive, who is able to work well independently, in the context of a supportive service in which there is always someone available to speak with if needed.
