The mental health social work teams provide specialist services for adults over 18. The teams support people to recover from periods of difficulty with their mental health and for people to stay as independent as possible by providing support that is person-centered which gives people choice and control in their lives.

You will need to be Registered with Social Work England / your appropriate Professional body. Experience of working in a health or social care setting is essential, along with excellent communication skills. You will need to demonstrate passion and enthusiasm for integrated working and an understanding of how we can best engage with our local communities and other partners in a meaningful way.
