As a Specialist Practitioner you will take an active role in supporting other AMHP's and the development of AMHP practice within the authority area.


The AMHP hub is a 24 hour service and whilst the majority of shifts will be during weekdays there will also be shift working to cover a 24 hour rota.


You will be:

Required to triage and undertake MHA work through a single point of access over a 24/7 service

Maintain the mandatory requirements for AMHP approval and undertake ongoing training

Seek to promote the role of the AMHP and the rights of service users and carers

Required to work a mixture of weekend, night time and daytime shifts

Network with users of mental health services including other statutory agencies

Be involved in data collection and service improvement projects

Deliver supervision, advice and guidance to other practitioners

Be passionate about mental health, keeping service users at the heart of what we do


You will need to demonstrate significant experience of working in a secondary mental health setting and evidence of current AMHP authorisation and professional registration.

If you are not currently authorised by a LSSA, evidence of qualification and relevant practice and training in the last 9 months will be considered.


At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it.

This is the same approach we take for our employees.

We look to value the skills and experiences of those we work with, whether they are service users, carers, families or those looking to work with us.

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards.

The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.


Our Staff Survey results showed people at our Trust feel they are engaged, part of a team and work for a compassionate and inclusive organisation.


Our overall scores were better than average in eight of nine themes and level in one - the best overall results for a community, mental health and learning disabilities Trust in the south west and first equal amongst all sector NHS providers within the region too.


Gloucestershire Health and Care is committed to embedding and providing personalised care through all of its services as part of our high-quality care strategy.

The purpose of personalised care is to empower people to lead the lives they want to live. Personalised care starts with a conversation with people about what matters to them. It builds on what people can do, as well as addressing their health needs.

Including new ways of working and delivering care, emphasising that we need to make effective use of the full range of our people's skills and experience to deliver the best possible patient care.

So we want to know What Matters to You and that you will share our values and join us on this very important journey.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.
