At NHS Professionals, we recognise the essential work that Social Workers carry out to support people and their families. Social Workers work across local authorities, the independent sector and voluntary services - but did you know there are also opportunities within the NHS for Social Workers in mental health settings?

Our Social Workers play a critical role in improving overall wellbeing and mental health for NHS service users. They spend their time assessing, diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental, behavioural and emotional issues.

Our wide range of roles provide opportunities for Bank Members to build on their specialist skillset. As a preferred partner for some of the most prestigious NHS Trusts in England, we can share roles as soon as they become available. Some of the social work roles available at our partner Trusts include:

• Mental Health Practitioner
• Social Worker
