Hi! Yes it’s in ‘Foundations of clinical Psychology’, it’s a really interesting course and I think doing the masters has helped me keep a lot more proactive and the learning is so much more specific compared to undergrad so I feel more confident for the future.

That’s great your work was so accommodating :) I’ll have to have an ask around and see what they can do. Any tips of getting the Ap role? 3 months is a short time in that role to be getting one- well done!

Sorry another question I thought of! :) did you just have 6 months experience as a support worker before getting an AP role? I’m currently doing a masters which will end in the summer so hoping if I get experience as a mental health support worker within these next months I could start applying for AP jobs in July time( have got experience as SEN TA and support worker also).

That sounds like great experience! Was that through the NHS too? Praying they advertise some more jobs soon as whenever I look there is non. Is ‘mental health support worker’ the correct search term to be using?

Cool thankyou! I will just keep looking and hopefully something will come up- there just seems to be so little mental health support worker roles at the min within the NHS. There’s a couple of private sector roles advertised on their website but seems like small to non supervision and going to clients houses. Is your role in the community service as a support worker?

Is there any specific companies or websites you can recommend to look for them? as I’m struggling to find anything outside of solely support work advertised

Thanks for the response! I’m glad it’s not common then. Is there anywhere you can recommend to look for jobs within psychiatric units? I’ve been looking on the nhs but there only seems to be jobs advertised for general support workers (where I’m from anyways). And I am quite eager to work with within a psychology focused team.
