If you are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of individuals leaving the criminal justice system we invite you to explore an exciting opportunity with West Yorkshire Liaison and Diversion / RECONNECT, an NHS England commissioned service delivered by Wakefield Council.

At West Yorkshire Liaison and Diversion, we are on a mission to divert vulnerable people out of the criminal justice system and into support services that can lead to lasting change. Our Reconnect Services play a pivotal role in achieving this goal.

The post is based at Dewsbury business centre however the post will cover various outreach basis across West Yorkshire including HMP Leeds HMP Wealstun, HMP New Hall, probation approved premises and wider operational bases across W Yorkshire. The post is a workplace-based role.

RECONNECT is a care after custody service that seeks to improve the continuity of care of people leaving prison or an immigration removal centre (IRC) with an identified health need. This involves working with them before they leave to support their transition to community-based services, thereby safeguarding health gains made whilst in prison or an IRC.

RECONNECT services aim to improve the wellbeing of people leaving prison or an IRC, reduce inequalities and address health-related drivers of offending behaviours., RECONNECT offers liaison, advocacy, signposting, and support to facilitate engagement with community-based health and support services.

**RECONNECT services also aim to**:

- Increase access to and uptake up of healthcare or relevant support services for individuals who have identified health needs upon release from prison or IRCs who would otherwise struggle to engage.
- Ensure that the health needs of individuals who are leaving prison or IRCs are met.
- Ensure a safe transition from prison or IRC to community-based healthcare and support services in England.
- Provide follow-up to ensure engagement is maintained.

As a Mental Health Practitioner within our Reconnect Services team, you will be an essential member of a multi-disciplinary group dedicated to providing mental health and social care assessments for individuals upon their release from prison. You will work under the guidance of our Mental Health Advanced Practitioner. Your primary responsibilities include identifying those with health vulnerabilities, developing comprehensive care plans, and coordinating support services to ensure a safe and supportive transition into the community. With the aim of reducing re-offending by ensuring that a persons health needs can be adequately met within the community.
