Bridgwater, United Kingdom Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Somerset Foundation Trust's Advice and Support in custody and court (ASCC) team provides a service to individuals appearing at Somerset's criminal courts (Taunton, Yeovil and North Somerset Magistrates' courts, Taunton Crown Court) and to those who have been arrested and are detainees in police custody (Bridgwater).

The team is part of NHS England's national liaison and diversion programme (and in partnership with Avon and Wiltshire Partnership, provides the Advice & Support in Custody & Courts service to the wider Avon and Somerset police area). The team's primary role is to complete mental health and other vulnerability assessments in criminal justice settings and identify unmet needs with a view to referring on to a range of relevant health and social care services.

The team routinely share relevant information with criminal justice agencies (where consent has been obtained) to ensure that wherever individuals are in the criminal justice system, their mental health needs and information about other vulnerabilities are known, enabling the police and courts to make informed decisions about charging and sentencing.

The service operates 7 days a week - 8.00am to 8.00pm. Working hours have some significant flexibility with some working 7.5 hours and a number of optional 'long day' (8.00am-8.00pm) shifts to cover these hours (a mixture of 8.00 am - 4.00pm, 9.00am - 5.00pm, 10am - 6.00pm and 12.00 - 8.00pm).
