What you’ll be doing:

Coordinating the entire assessment process under the Mental Health Act, from referral to completion, including providing follow-up support.

Ensuring safe hospital admissions or alternative care arrangements, with a focus on minimising risk to the individual, others and yourself.

Collaborating in a multi-disciplinary manner, effectively negotiating with individuals, their families, carers and other professionals to achieve positive outcomes.

Qualified Social Worker, Mental Health or Learning Disabilities Nurse, Occupational Therapist, or Practitioner Psychologist, registered with the relevant professional body.

Sound knowledge of the Mental Health Act and Code of Practice.

Excellent communication and relationship management skills.

Commitment to empathetic, person-centred practice and dedication to upholding the rights of the individuals you assess.

Flexibility to work shift patterns, as we provide a 24-hour service.
