If you are interested in this unique specialist assessment opportunity we would first introduce you to our trusted contact provider for the DoLS who will take your application forward formally.

1. approved under section 12 of the Mental Health Act 1983(2); OR
2. a registered medical practitioner who the supervisory body is satisfied has at least three years post registration experience in the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorder
In addition, you will have successfully completed the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Mental Health Assessors training programme made available by the Royal College of Psychiatrists (N.B. this is an online training package).
