Further Information
An opportunity has arisen for 2 Approved Mental Health Professionals to work as part of a mental health social work team, providing services to individuals who experience mental illness and may have complex, multiple needs.
This is a friendly and supportive team committed to person-centred practice which helps promote independence, wellbeing and choice.
The role includes carrying out assessments under the Mental Health Act 1983 (as amended 2007) on a rota basis. You will also undertake duties under the Care Act (2014) including Care Act assessments and Section 42 enquiries and manage a reduced caseload. The role involves close working with mental health colleagues within a multi-disciplinary framework.
You must have a relevant Social Work qualification such as a Degree in Social Work, DipSW, CQSW, or CSS, or equivalent, an Approved Mental Health Professional qualification and Social Work England registration. Professional support, supervision and appraisal will be provided by the Team Manager of the Community Mental Health Team and the AMHP lead.
We are hoping to recruit into 1 full time 37 hour position and 1 x 3 day position. Applications for alternative part time working patterns will also be considered; applicants should state their preference in the application.
To arrange an informal discussion, please contact Penny Hardman, Team Manager, by email at penny.hardman@newcastle.gov.uk.
Apply online at www.northeastjobs.org.uk, select 'Apply Now' and complete our online application form. Before completing the form, please ensure you read the supporting documents. Any communication sent to you regarding your application will be sent to the email address you have set up on your Northeast Jobs account, so you will need to ensure that you check your inbox.
We are committed to protecting and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. This post is working in regulated activity. If you are successful, we will undertake additional recruitment checks which will include a check to see if you have had any criminal convictions, a check of police information and we will check the barred list(s). It is a criminal offence for a barred individual to apply for a job in regulated activity.
