Making a Difference as Senior Social Worker/ AMHP with the Emergency Duty Team
The St Helens Emergency Duty Team, who are also commissioned by Halton LA, deliver an out of hours emergency response in respect of risk of immediate harm for People\'s Services.
This encompasses immediate risk of harm to children and adults, mental Health support/assessments, and homelessness.
EDT’s primary office base is situated at Municipal Building in Widnes.
This is a hybrid position with some homeworking, however the post will require you to be based at our Widnes office and be able to attend the St Helens and Halton area regularly as part of your work.
