Explore rewarding Positive Risk Enablement Panel (PREP) Co-Ordinator jobs, a pivotal and growing profession within adult social care and safeguarding. Professionals in this role are dedicated to facilitating a balanced, person-centred approach to risk for adults with complex needs, often within multi-agency frameworks. The core mission is to enable positive risk-taking, empowering individuals to make informed choices about their lives while ensuring robust safeguarding measures are in place. This is not about eliminating risk, but about managing it thoughtfully to promote dignity, independence, and improved life outcomes. A PREP Co-Ordinator typically acts as the central hub for a multi-disciplinary panel. Common responsibilities include the end-to-end coordination of panel meetings, from scheduling and preparing comprehensive case information to distributing minutes and outcomes. They ensure all relevant professionals—from social workers and healthcare staff to housing officers and mental health specialists—are effectively engaged. A significant part of the role involves driving collaboration, fostering a culture of shared best practice, and breaking down silos between different organisations to create a unified support plan for the adult. Furthermore, these co-ordinators are often responsible for producing detailed reports and thematic analyses, identifying systemic trends, gaps in service, and training needs to inform strategic improvements at a partnership level. Those seeking PREP Co-Ordinator jobs generally require a specific skill set and background. A strong, working knowledge of key legislation such as the Care Act and the Mental Capacity Act is fundamental, as is a deep understanding of safeguarding principles. Experience in multi-agency working is essential, as the role demands diplomacy, exceptional communication skills, and the confidence to chair complex meetings and negotiate with diverse stakeholders. Typical requirements include a relevant professional qualification (such as in social work, nursing, or occupational therapy) coupled with several years of post-qualification experience in adult social care, health, or a related safeguarding environment. Organisational prowess, analytical thinking for report writing, and proficiency with case management systems are standard. Above all, successful candidates are values-driven, demonstrating a commitment to collaboration, empathy, and enabling the rights of adults to live fulfilling lives.
