Job Introduction
Do you want to support vulnerable adults and strengthen your networks as well as enhancing your skills? If so, join us

Joining our Adult Social Care Mental Health Emergency Duty Service is a chance to change your world and theirs. You will be supported by a team that cares for you just as much as it cares for our community.

In addition to the single salary grade, you will receive additional payments for all unsocial hours and bank holidays worked. A market supplement for being a qualified Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP), and a further payment per assessment, creating an annual salary in the region of £60,000.

You will be registered with Social Work England, have experience working directly with vulnerable adults and their families, including an appreciation of systemic approaches. Knowledge of safeguarding, criminal justice, housing, and support for substance and domestic abuse is vital. Be a confident decision-maker and manage your workload independently.

Interviews will take place **Friday 14 July** via Microsoft Teams unless you request an in-person interview. If you are unavailable to attend the allocated interview date/time, let us know and we may be able to schedule an alternative date/time for you.
