Newton Abbot, United Kingdom Devon Partnership NHS Trust Full time

We are looking for a SMHP to join the Outside the Box (OTB) team, part of the Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) pathway in Devon, based at HMP Channings Wood. The OPD pathway is based in prisons and probation, with NHS and HMPPS staff working together to of increase the wellbeing and reduce the risk of those screened into the pathway, whilst also improving the knowledge and attitudes of wider staff working with them.

OTB is an intervention service supporting those screened into the pathway who are stuck in the system (e.g. not willing to engage, multiple releases and recalls) or displaying behaviours that mean they aren't able to access other services they would benefit them (e.g. self-harm, substance use). The service provides individual and group interventions in a range of modalities with a focus on the relational. This includes the development of a shared formulation with each person on caseload, as well as pro-social groups (e.g. gardening, bee-keeping), psycho-educational groups (e.g. healthy self-esteem), skills groups (DBT skills) and more therapeutic groups (MBT).

The role is dynamic and challenging and works within a cohesive, motivated and enthusiastic team including prison officers, psychologists, assistant psychologists and an OT. There is lots of space given to supervision, reflective practice and opportunities for training, in acknowledgement of how challenging this work can be.
