For this post, you will work in police custody and complete triage assessments with people whilst they are detained there (from the age of ten). You will work closely with the police, your assessment and information gathering will support that person across the offender pathway. Depending on a person’s criminal justice journey this may include Courts and Probation and the wider health and social care systems in the community.

Whilst the team all perform the Liaison and Diversion Practitioner role, your colleagues come from a range of professional backgrounds including social workers, paramedics, midwives, health visitors, approved mental health professionals, physical health nurses and a learning disability nurse.

The working criminal justice locations include Police Investigation Centres (PIC’s), Courts and other supporting criminal justice/health environments in line with service need. However, this role will primarily work inside the PIC (custody). The service covers both Norfolk and Suffolk and may require some cross county working. It is essential that you can travel independently.

In this role you will have a choice of base across the two counties, these are Great Yarmouth, Aylsham, Wymondham, Kings Lynn, Martlesham and Bury St Edmunds.

**Working for our organisation**:
**Benefits**

Benefits included with this role are:
- NHS pension
- Comprehensive in house & external training programmes
- Career progression
- Starting annual leave of 27 days per annum increasing to 33 days Per annum based on length of service (plus paid bank holidays)
- Staff physio service
