The Edmonton Community Mental Health Locality Team seeks an experienced Mental Health Social Worker/AMHP practitioner in our fully integrated multidisciplinary Community Mental Health Team and to participate in our centralised AMHP Service Rota.

The position provides an exciting opportunity for an experienced practitioner in a leadership role to contribute to the development, training and shaping of Mental Health social work practice and service delivery. The position provides an excellent opportunity for an experienced practitioner to demonstrate creativity to make a real difference in vulnerable people’s lives; and to influence and shape the practice of community mental health social workers, AMHPs and aspiring AMHPs, along with supporting the practice development of junior social workers through professional Supervision and Practice Education/AYSE Programs.

We seek an imaginative and dynamic social work practitioner motivated to make positive contributions to the transformation of mental health social care, asserting social recovery and empowerment models, working in meaningful partnerships with service users, their carers, and families. You will make full use of person-centred assessment skills, using strengths-based and enabling principles, demonstrate coordination and planning skills, with a focus on prevention, recovery, wellbeing, and dignity outcomes.

Enfield prides itself on having a supportive work culture with good working relationships with North London Partnership - Barnet, Enfield, Haringey, Camden & Islington Foundation Mental Health Trust, and a stable management team that gives social workers the autonomy they need to deliver a first-class service to vulnerable adults, children and their families.

If you are looking for an interesting challenge working within an integrated MDT setting, and looking for a rewarding position with good professional peer support/professional and clinical supervision, or just looking to influence and shape social work and AMHP practice; then this could be it.

Enfield is a beacon council in independent living for people with disabilities and is fully committed to the personalisation agenda in mental health. We offer a supportive learning environment through individual and group supervision, with excellent professional development and training opportunities. Employed by Enfield Local Authority and seconded to Barnet, Enfield & Haringey NHS Mental Health Trust, you will benefit from positive practical working partnerships between the two organisations.
