Are you a qualified AMHP looking to enhance your skills? Join us to work with people we support and strengthen your networks!
At East Sussex County Council, we have a deep commitment to empowering adults who have care and support needs.

Can demonstrate knowledge of appropriate legal and policy frameworks, case law and the application to social work practice. Seek appropriate legal advice and apply legal reasoning, using professional expertise
Have experience of working directly with adults in a statutory setting, using a partnership approach
Understand different forms of harm and their impact on people, implications for practice, drawing on concepts of attachment, loss, strength, vulnerability, risk and resistance
Are able to demonstrate accountability and effective judgement when anticipating, identifying, assessing and managing risk, seeking support and solutions where appropriate
