We are seeking a proactive Assistant Mental Health Practitioner (AMHP) to join our Children and Young Persons Intake team; to provide front-line support for children and families reaching out to Jami for support. This key role involves triaging referrals, signposting to external services, undertaking needs-led assessments, and delivering short-term interventions.
