An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and compassionate Assistant Psychologist to work within our MHTR Team.

The MHTR team provide psychological assessments and interventions to people with mental health difficulties who have come into contact with criminal justice services and whose offences may attract a community or suspended sentence order.

The team aims to prevent short term custodial sentences and reduce reoffending by improving access to psychological interventions and addressing underlying mental health problems, thereby improving health and social outcomes for the individual and their family.

MPFT deliver services across England. We are experienced in working across a wide geographical area and there is no necessity to travel to headquarters, training and IT support is virtual.

What do previous Assistant Psychologists say about working in the MHTR Team?

‘The MHTR team is a friendly and supportive team.

There is a great network of practitioners across the UK which meets regularly’.
