Job Introduction
General Location: Lincolnshire
Are you passionate about improving the lives of individuals with mental health needs? Do you want to make a positive impact in the community? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you.

As an organisation we value the wellbeing of our employees and recognise the importance of work/life balance. AMHPs typically work 37.5 hours over three 13 hour shifts and whilst this is the preferred option for most of our team, we are flexible to ensure we meet the needs of both our staff and service users. As such, part time hours may also be considered.

• Providing our employees with the resources and support they need to excel in their roles.
• Comprehensive supervision, appraisal, and employee well-being opportunities.
• An investment in the highest quality support relevant to the AMHP role including 18 hours of comprehensive training a year, AMHP forums, peer supervision and development opportunities.
We are also offering:
- “Green book” Local Government terms and conditions
- Access to Local Government Pension scheme (contribution rate of approx. 24%)
- Comprehensive benefits package including salary sacrifice for cars, cycles, plus excellent discount schemes
- A generous leave entitlement with a minimum of 25 days plus bank holidays and the option to buy more
