AMHP / Mental Health Social Worker

Your next contract: meaningful mental health work, a supportive team and more flexibility around your working week.

Join an established Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) within a South Wales local authority, supporting adults with mental health needs to access the right care and live more independently.

You’ll benefit from up to two days working from home each week, a six-month+ contract and the opportunity to discuss condensed hours.

Not AMHP-qualified? You can still apply. AMHP status is welcomed, but it isn’t essential for this opportunity.

Why consider this role?
 

• £36 - £38 per hour, depending on experience, with your rate discussed before your CV is submitted.
• Six-month+ agency contract, with potential for extension.
• Hybrid working, including up to two home-working days each week.
• Condensed hours considered, offering flexibility around your full-time commitment.
• An established, supportive service that values your experience and contribution.
• Multidisciplinary working, keeping you connected to health and social care colleagues.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work with adults whose mental health needs affect their daily lives, building relationships and developing support that reflects their strengths, circumstances and goals.

Within a clinical CMHT environment, your work will include:
 

• Completing assessments, care plans, reviews and relevant statutory work.
• Reviewing care packages and adapting support as people’s needs change.
• Managing a caseload of adults with mental health needs.
• Working closely with health professionals and wider partner agencies.
• Promoting independence, wellbeing and person-centred outcomes.
• Supporting junior colleagues where required.
• Undertaking AMHP-related duties where appropriately qualified and authorised.

What you’ll need
 

• A recognised Social Work qualification.
• Current professional registration appropriate to practise in Wales.
• Relevant mental health social work experience.
• A full UK driving licence.

AMHP qualification or experience is desirable—not essential.
