There is a high level of Mental Health Act related work within the Team including Mental Health Act assessments and the involvement of AMHP’s in the application, revoking and extension of CTO’s.
An Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) payment is made on the basis that an employee participates in the AMHP rota. If an employee can only commit to a proportion of the rota, for instance they work part-time, the payment will be pro-rata’d to account for this. It is an expectation of the AMHP role that employees participate in the rota, however, there may on occasion be exceptional circumstances that will not allow an employee to participate. Those who do not participate will not receive the additional payment and continue to be paid at the appropriate level for the work being undertaken.
