The grade of post recognises the autonomous nature of the role, and the requirement for lone working out of hours, as well as responsibility for the running of the hub, formulating rotas, and providing supervision to other AMHPs. Additionally, the AMHP hub post holders take a professional practice lead in developing co-operative working relations with other social care teams and external partners, and participate in policy formulation for the service.
- be a qualified AMHP with at least two years’ recent post-qualifying experience
- meet the professional requirements and key competences of an AMHP as outlined in The Mental Health (Approved Mental Health Professionals) (Approval) (England) Regulations 2008

- the opportunity of working in a supportive and innovative team
- regular supervision and collaborative working
- regular Team Meetings and AMHP Forums
- excellent training and continuing professional development opportunities.
