We are looking for a conscientious and committed Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) to join the Wiltshire AMHP Hub. Wiltshire Council utilises a ‘Hub & Spoke’ model of service, staffed by highly skilled and competent AMHPs who always aim to maximise the independence of service users. The Service has a clarity of process, a proactive and preventative approach and it works effectively with partner agencies.

The role of the team is to provide the statutory AMHP function on behalf of the Council. The Team ensures referrals for Mental Health Act related work are managed appropriately. This includes undertaking assessments under the Act, dealing with Nearest Relative related work, and managing CTO and Guardianship related work. The Service is county wide with offices co-located on Hospital sites in Devizes and Salisbury.

As a Hub AMHP, you will work with your colleagues to ensure all enquiries and referrals are responded to appropriately. You will need to undertake assessments under the Act when appropriate but also record clearly when referrals and/or assessments are not progressed. You will be involved in CTO work, Guardianship work as well as mental health ‘Breathing Space’ work. Your role will include you undertaking the AMHP Triage role from time to time.
