Southall, United Kingdom West London NHS Trust Full time

Are you an experienced, highly motivated mental health practitioner and who is passionate about improving health outcomes for those within the Criminal Justice system?

We now have the opportunity to recruit one full time Band 7 Senior Police Liaison Practitioner to join our well established but now expanding team working in MET police custody suites, Acton and Hammersmith. These custody suites serve large diverse boroughs within the West London area.

The police Liaison teams sits within a wider Liaison and Diversion service in West London NHS Trust, including Court Diversion at Westminster and Youth Justice Tri Borough. With this recruitment, we aim to provide a 7-day service to the suites, ensuring access to all those who become involved in the Criminal Justice system.

We are looking for suitably experienced mental health professionals rather than one particular discipline. We are interested in hearing from mental health/Learning disability nurses, social workers or occupational therapists. An experienced AMHP would be desirable.

We provide proactive screening and assessment to individuals within Police custody, identifying need/vulnerabilities, signposting to other services and where indicated diverting to health. You will be primarily screening those over 18 but at times will be expected to assess children and young people if our Youth team is not available. Our aim is to improve overall health outcomes, reduce further police contact and re-offending rates, and to avert disorder-related crises.

This scheme, commissioned by NHS England operate to a standard model and similar schemes are now available in every part of the country. It is an all-age service and all women and people under the age of 18 are screened as mandatory due to their vulnerability within the system.

With new recruits to our service we hope to operate 7 days a week, between the core hours or 8-8 during the week and 10-6 at weekends and Bank Holidays. We offer flexible working and support compressed hours, to support in the well being of staff. We try to accommodate work/life balance and requests as much as possible within this service by having a flexible and respectful attitude to each other. There is no parking facilities at the custody suites, so you will need to use public transport but we provide free parking when on Trust based sites.

Our custody suites are Hammersmith and Acton. You will be expected to work across both with flexibility. As a clinician you will be required to be physically based within custody.

The post holder will work under the remit of the Forensic Community Service providing a proactive assessment, liaison and diversion service in two Police Custody Suites within the West London area.

The post holder will join an established team which already comprises of 6 x Band 7 Police Liaison Practitioners. The post holder will work in partnership with health, social services and the criminal justice system, to ensure that individuals presenting with mental health problems in police custody have their needs addressed and are diverted into appropriate health care services as necessary. Unsocial hours working will be required, including bank holidays.
