Already a qualified and Registered Professional eg DSW, RMN, Degree in Occupational Therapy, you will possess a Post Graduate Certificate in Approved Mental Health Professional Practice. Your work as an Out of Hours AMHP will include some weekends and some Bank Holiday for which an unsocial hours payment is applicable. We welcome both full time and part time applications.
