Advanced Practitioners

We are proud to have a workforce with values that promote human rights, social justice and professional integrity. We recognise the importance of diversity within our organisation that reflects the communities we serve. Due to service redesign, we have new full time permanent mental health officer / Advanced Practitioner posts available across adult social work services.
This post is a dedicated Mental Health Officer post which will offer an exciting opportunity for experienced, motivated, and ambitious practitioners to work in a dynamic environment with a forward-thinking workforce, who are determined to make a real positive difference for people accessing services and living in our communities. Trauma informed, relationships and a strengths based social work approach sits at the heart of our practice. Experience of chairing meetings and a proven track record of supporting team practice development in a number of ways, such as mentoring, facilitating student placements, groups or communities of practice.
