- Responsible for forensic assessments, formulations and inputting into psychological treatment interventions with prisoners.
- Working in a multi-disciplinary and collaborative way with the Psychology and Interventions team, prisoners and the wider Prison.
- The role may also require you to contribute to multi-disciplinary meetings within and outside of the Prison and liaise with both internal and external stakeholders.
- Leading, developing and contributing to new Offending Behaviour Programmes (OBP) and ensuring psychological oversight and input where required.
- Delivering training on issues such as managing behaviours, personality disorder and sharing information on complex case formulations with relevant teams to assist prisoner management.
