We are looking to recruit individuals who are confident, and committed to providing a high quality Social Care service to a caseload of up to 25 forensic patients and their families. You will be motivated to work as a part of a multi-disciplinary team and link with external agencies. It is desirable that you have an interest and understanding of issues affecting people in secure mental health services. We expect you to be knowledgeable about legislative frameworks and issues regarding safeguarding vulnerable adults and children. We welcome applications from under-represented groups, and have a strong commitment to anti-discriminatory practice. The successful candidates must be able to prepare and present complex reports in a variety of forums. You can expect regular supervision and support, and opportunities for professional development.

Please note that this post does not meet the pay level required for a Skilled worker visa.

Successful applicants with no prior NHS experience would normally be placed at the bottom of the band in line with Agenda for Change. This salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker/Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker/Health & Care visa.

Applicants requiring a Skilled Worker Visa can determine the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship against the relevant criteria here https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
