We are looking for enthusiastic, robust, resilient, creative, and innovative candidates interested in working with people who have complex presentations, encompassing risk, personality difficulties and mental health.
ACCESS is part of the Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) pathway and is a partnership between HMP Foston Hall, Practice Plus Group, and HMPPS Psychology Services. The service aims to support prisoners at HMP Foston Hall presenting with highly complex needs which are causing them significant distress and preventing them from progressing in their sentence in some way. More specifically, it is for service users who cannot access or are not responding to existing strategies and interventions to manage their behaviour, indicating the need for a higher level of support. ACCESS aims to work collaboratively with service users and/or the professionals involved in their care, to promote stability, psychological wellbeing and positive coping through the provision of intervention and support.

A core part of these roles will be to work alongside colleagues from a range of disciplines sharing psychological knowledge and consistently improving the psychological mindedness of the service. 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.
Working with this client group can be emotionally taxing requiring a robustness to manage the complex emotions and processes that occur. You will have appropriate access to clinical supervision and support. You will be line managed by a Consultant Psychologist/Strategic Clinical Lead in the Secure Care and Offender Health (SCOH) directorate within Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (BSMHFT).
