Newton Abbot, United Kingdom Devon Partnership NHS Trust Full time

Job summary

We are looking for an Operations Manager to join two teams in the Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) pathway in Devon.

OPD is a collection of services based primarily in prisons and probation where NHS and HMPPS staff work together to increase the wellbeing and reducing the risk of those screened into the pathway whilst improving the knowledge and attitudes of staff working with them.

The role is split across two services:

Outside the Box is an intervention service supporting those stuck in the system (eg reluctant to engage, multiple releases and recalls, repeated substance use). We offer individual and group interventions with a focus on the relational. This includes development of a shared formulation, pro-social groups (eg gardening, bee-keeping), psycho-educational groups (eg healthy self-esteem), skills groups (DBT skills) and more therapeutic groups (MBT).

Support to Succeed is a community-based service supporting probation practitioners through consultation, formulation and joint working and offering psychologically-informed intervention and risk management for those leaving prison who are anticipated to find the transition challenging. The service covers Devon with the exception of Plymouth. Staff are based across Devon probation offices, DPT sites, community centre and working from home.

The role is dynamic and challenging with lots of space given to supervision, reflective practice and opportunities for training in acknowledgement of how challenging this work can be.

Main duties of the job

*The job description and banding for this role are subject to job evaluation*

The base locations of this role will be atHMPChannings Wood, Probation offices (Exeter, Barnstaple, Torquay) & fromhome.

The post holder will have the opportunity to provide operational management, leadership, data expertise & support for the continued development and delivery of the service, working alongside both NHS, probation & prison staff.
