Full job description

We are looking for an Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) to join a dedicated Daytime AMHP Service.

Do not apply if you do not have a Social Work Qualification and 3 years post qualified experience, alongside current AMHP accreditation.

About the team

This team is responsible for undertaking Mental Health Act assessments and coordinating interventions for adults experiencing acute mental health crises during daytime hours. Working closely with partner agencies including health services, police, and community mental health teams, the service plays a key role in ensuring individuals receive appropriate and least restrictive support. The team manages complex and high-risk situations, promotes person-centred practice, and ensures statutory duties under the Mental Health Act are carried out effectively.

About you

A degree within Social Work (Degree/DipSW/CQSW) with a minimum of 3 years post qualified experience is essential for this role, alongside current AMHP status. Previous experience undertaking Mental Health Act assessments and working within adult mental health services is highly beneficial. Confidence in crisis intervention, sound risk assessment skills, and the ability to make informed decisions within fast-paced environments are key to success in this position. Strong communication and partnership-working skills are also essential. A valid UK driving licence and access to a vehicle are preferred but not essential.

What's on offer?

  • £40.00 per hour umbrella (PAYE payment options available also)
  • Daytime working hours with hybrid arrangements
  • Supportive and experienced management team
  • Opportunity to work within a highly collaborative multi-agency service
  • Easily accessible via car or public transport
