Mental Health Assessment Specialist
3 months ago
Devon County Council is actively seeking full-time Mental Health Assessment Specialists to enhance our dedicated team.
(We are open to considering applications for part-time positions as well.)
About Us
In light of our recent innovative in-house restructuring, we are thrilled to unveil a groundbreaking model for our out-of-hours services within Devon County Council.
The out-of-hours Mental Health Assessment Service is crucial for responding to urgent requests for evaluations under the Mental Health Act. This role entails assessing and prioritizing workloads to make informed decisions regarding assessments, in accordance with the statutory obligations of Devon County Council.
This newly established specialized out-of-hours service will collaborate with a distinct Emergency Duty Service (EDS), which addresses referrals for both Children and Adults within a joint social care framework.
Launched recently, this revised service focuses on implementing specialized service models for our three primary EDS areas (Adults, Children, and Mental Health), aiming to enhance and streamline collaborative efforts.
This initiative is backed by significant new investments and staffing enhancements to ensure improvements in the services provided to residents of Devon. The expansion of the AMHP workforce, along with the introduction of AMHP managers during out-of-hours, will foster a more supportive working environment and increase our capacity to meet the growing demand for this vital service.
Rota Structure
The successful candidate will follow an 8-week rolling rota, which includes two consecutive weeks off during each cycle. The shift schedule comprises weekday evenings, weekend, and Bank Holiday shifts, both day and night.
To facilitate two consecutive weeks off in each cycle, annual leave and bank holiday entitlements are integrated into the rota. This structure allows for an average of 13 weeks off each year.
Each of the six scheduled working weeks includes between two to five days off, with each week featuring two consecutive days off. Employees will have contracted hours allocated for team meetings, supervision, training, and other essential tasks during standard office hours.

Essential Qualifications
- Registered qualified professional (Social Worker, Nurse, Occupational Therapist, Psychologist)
- Currently authorized as an AMHP (Post-Graduate Certificate in Mental Health)
- Comprehensive understanding and application of complex and specialized legislation including the Mental Health Act, Mental Capacity Act, Care Act, Children Act, and relevant case law
- Valid driving license

- Proven experience in multi-disciplinary environments.
Desirable Qualifications

What We Offer
- A commitment to your continuous professional development, ensuring you receive excellent support and supervision, with regular opportunities for practice reflection with your line manager and peers.
- 26 days of annual leave, plus Bank Holidays, increasing incrementally to 31 days after five years of service.

- Visa sponsorship may also be part of the relocation support package, subject to terms and conditions.
Applications for part-time hours will also be considered.
