Bridgend, Bridgend county borough, United Kingdom Swansea Bay University Health Board Full time

THIS POST IS FIXED TERM/SECONDMENT FOR 12 MONTHS AS PART OF A PILOT WITHIN HMPPS DUE TO THE SERVICE NEEDS.


A unique and exciting opportunity has arisen within the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway Team (OPDP), within Swansea Bay University Health Board.

This is a partnership role with HM Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS).


The National OPDP Pathway is a consultation/ formulation led service and the Transitional Liaison Team seeks to support Welsh men between custodial sites and Approved Premises (AP's) and treatment sites in England and Wales.

The post holder will identify treatment needs and refer to local teams in Wales, whilst providing relational support during the difficult period of transition.


Men in the Criminal Justice System commonly present with complex mental health difficulties and trauma and the overarching aim of this role is to improve Men's experience during the difficult period of Transition and to assist with reducing reoffending.

You will maintain treatment gains, improve continuity, and increase access to services for this high risk, yet vulnerable male group.


We are looking for a compassionate individual who can work with a caseload of high-risk men as they transition from custody, to work flexibly and respond to need, able to work both autonomously and as part of a wider team.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this role.


Working within the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway Team (OPDP), you will be joining a developing, highly specialist and supportive multidisciplinary team.


You will be responsible for building relationships and engaging with Prison and Community Teams, Probation staff and third sector organisations to facilitate the timely and smooth transition of high-risk men, from custody to the community.

This post is full time, on a permanent contract, and will involve travel across a wide geographical area. As this is a specialist post the OPDP team invests heavily in training staff. There will be funded opportunities to train in trauma and other psychological interventions as well as risk assessments.

There will be opportunities to network nationally and participate in research to further develop the access to services in Wales.


The post holder will be expected to contribute to ongoing service development alongside fellow professionals and service users/ people on probation.

They will receive ongoing support via managerial supervision and performance review from a senior member of the team.


The post holder will be required to work predominantly Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, although flexibility around this will be considered, given the large geographical area covered.

We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic individual to join a developing highly specialist and supportive multidisciplinary team.


We believe staff are our best asset and we want you to be happy and confident about starting your career here in Swansea Bay University Health Board.


As one of the biggest healthcare groups in the UK we can offer a wealth of professional training and development opportunities in an innovative, forward-thinking organisation.

There are also apprenticeships, work placements and volunteering roles available.


Our values - Caring For Each Other, Working Together and Always Improving, show that our commitment to equality is at the heart of everything we do.


If you want excellent career and training opportunities while living on the doorstep of some of Europe's most spectacular scenery, with all the benefits of a thriving and cosmopolitan city - look no further.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.


The organisation is specifically recruiting MALE ONLY applicants in keeping with the positive action provision within the Equality Act 2010 order to meet patient need and employee safety.


This post is exempt under the Employment (Sex Discrimination) Act 2000, Section the (s9(2)(f)) Personal welfare and counseling which constitutes a Genuine Occupational Qualifications.

The work involves working with service users where there is a risk assessment identifying the need for male support in the provision of aspects of this persons care and support.


The post holder will deliver a service to facilitate the safe and appropriate transition of high-risk service users that are statutorily supervised by HM Prison & Probation Service who meet the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway (OPDP) eligibility criteria and present with particularly complex needs.
