Other requirements

General requirements

Applicants are normally expected to hold at least a second-class Honours degree and possess a recognised professional qualification in Social Work, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, or Psychology. They must also be registered as a Social Worker, First Level Mental Health or Learning Disability Nurse, Occupational Therapist, or Chartered Psychologist.
All applicants must be formally supported by their employer (typically a local authority) in pursuing training to become an Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP). This support must include guaranteed access to a suitable practice learning placement, supervised by a qualified AMHP who will act as the practice assessor. To undertake this placement, applicants must hold an enhanced DBS check and provide confirmation that no fitness-to-practice concerns exist that would prevent them from working within AMHP services.
