3 weeks ago

Birmingham, United Kingdom Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

An exciting job opportunity has arisen to recruit a Specialist Psychological Practitioner to join our growing Integrated Offender Health Service supporting in the delivery of Primary Mental Health Treatment Requirement orders.

Are you a professional with experience of working in mental health, social care, or education? Are you looking to build your skill and experience of delivering psychological interventions? If so, this could be the job for you

Health & Justice Vulnerability Service is an exciting NHS England initiative which continues to grow and expand across Birmingham and Solihull. The MHTR team provide support to individuals who have been given a court mandate for psychological intervention as an alternative to a custodial sentence. MHTR work in partnership with Birmingham Magistrates and Crown Court, Probation Services and local Woman's centres to ensure that individuals in receipt of an MHTR have the best opportunity to access and sustain engagement with psychological intervention, with the aim of reducing reoffending. This will be achieved through providing coordinated intervention, support, and risk management across multiple agencies, including health, criminal justice, local authority, substance misuse services, employment services and voluntary sector organisations.

Main duties of the job

You will work as a member of a multi-disciplinary team under the supervision of a registered clinical/forensic psychologist. You will support the assessment, formulation, and delivery of psychological interventions to address the range of identified mental health needs. This will involve both individual and group work. Central to the role is working with the wider MDT and partnership agencies, to support psychological understanding of a person's difficulties, which will involve supporting consultations, providing training, facilitating supervision, and conducting evaluations of interventions.

We are looking for people from a range of diverse backgrounds with an interest in working with, supporting, and enhancing the lives of people who have experienced adverse life experiences, including trauma and neglect, and have a history of offending behaviour. This post is best suited to a professional with a background in teaching, counselling, social work, family work or nursing, who has some prior training and experience of delivering psychological interventions. Prior experience of providing support or supervision to a staff group would also be desirable. Due to the partnership working involved, you will also require good organisational, interpersonal and communication skills.

Whilst this post is for a fixed term to meet growing demand within the service, there is potential that this may be extended in the future.
