An exciting opportunity has arisen to work as a Band 7 Specialist Psychologist / Psychological Therapist within the Kent Prisons Psychological Therapies Service.

You will provide a specialist psychological therapies service to offenders in emotional distress in Kent prisons, providing specialist psychological assessment and therapy at the same time as offering advice and consultation on clients' psychological care to non-psychologist colleagues and to other, non-professional carers, working autonomously with professional guidelines and the overall framework of the Bracton Centre's policies and procedures.
