We require a qualified and experienced Approved Mental Health Professional who can provide recent examples and references within the last five years of Mental Health Act assessments.

This post is temporary for initially one month to cover annual leave and sickness. This is a 37 hour post, however we will pay any additional hours after 17:00 for assessments which have overrun at the same rate.
