Why this could be a great role for you…
This is an exciting opportunity for a knowledgeable individual with expertise in mental health services and delivery to join our influential organisation.
You will have the chance to shape national approaches to forensic mental health, playing a pivotal role in providing advice and support and helping us ensure that mental health services deliver high-quality, safe care across the UK.
So, if you’re ready to use your expertise to drive improvements in care quality, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing…
As a Senior Specialist, you will play a key role in providing expert mental health sector advice and supporting multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) across our Network.
Influencing our national approach to forensic mental health services, you will support MDTs by assisting with decision-making on high-risk issues and providing senior specialist input on regulatory risks. You will also ensure that data, insights and sector learning inform operational delivery.
Supporting complex and high-risk activities, you will work with leadership to ensure our strategy and regulatory priorities align with sector developments and drive improvements in quality and safety.
Additionally, you will:
- Enhance sector-based leadership and safeguard practices
- Contribute to policy development and training delivery
