Are you a Mental Health Nurse, Occupational Therapist or Social Worker, looking for an opportunity to work within community mental health services?
Within Sarum Community Mental Health Team, we believe that supporting colleagues to meet their maximum potential is essential to providing great care.
Role Details
This post is open to newly qualified social workers. In line with trust policy, all newly qualified social workers will be recruited initially at Band 5 level, regardless of advertised role banding. All NQSWs are expected to successfully complete their ASYE within 2 years of employment, unless there are exceptional circumstances in which case it may be agreed to extend this for a further 2 years.
On successful completion of the ASYE, for which you will be given full support of an experienced Social Worker as well as Divisional Social Work Lead, and peer support from other ASYE candidates, you will then be eligible to progress to a Band 6 position.
If you have been appointed to an advertised Band 6 role this will be an automatic progression, following confirmation of your successful completion. If you have been appointed to a Band 5 you will then be eligible to apply for a subsequent Band 6 vacancy.

About Us
We are a multidisciplinary team consisting of a talented pool of both registered and non-registered mental health professionals.
We have moved away from the use of care programme approach (CPA) and now work with service users and carers under the “your team, your conversation, your plan" approach, which is a strength based, intervention led model of care, that supports the individual to address their own identified needs. We support the conversation through the use of a personal well-being and safety plan, as well the use of patient related outcome measures (dialogue +).
We are the lead provider of healthcare for people with serious mental illness, learning disabilities and autism across Bath and North East Somerset (BaNES), Swindon and Wiltshire, and Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
We aim to provide High Quality, Compassionate Care everywhere, every day. This means our services will be safe, clinically effective and provide a positive all round experience for our patients, families and carers. And we believe passionately in treating everyone with kindness, respect and empathy.
