• Personable, confident and able to deal sensitively with vulnerable clients
• A collaborative team player who enjoys working closely with colleagues

What you’ll be doing

• Managing the day-to-day property and financial affairs of clients who lack capacity
• Acting in clients’ best interests at all times when dealing with assets and finances
• Assisting Court of Protection Deputies on higher-value and more complex matters
• Maintaining accurate time recording and a clear audit trail on all files
• Managing your own caseload with increasing autonomy
• Working closely with families, carers and other professionals
• Contributing to a supportive, team-based approach to case management
