Overview
The Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) programme is a jointly commissioned initiative by NHS England and His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service, that aims to provide a pathway of psychologically informed services for a highly complex and challenging offender group who are likely to have severe personality difficulties and who pose a high risk of harm or a high risk of reoffending in a harmful way.
Our OPD Pathways service offers a consultation and formulation service to offender managers across 9 Surrey and Sussex probation offices. The Intensive Intervention & Risk Management Services (IIRMS) forms part of the wider Offender Personality Disorder Pathway.
You will lead a cross counties service covering Sussex and Surrey. You will provide professional and clinical leadership to a dedicated and skilled multi-disciplinary and multiagency team.
You will also be required to work closely and collaboratively with regional senior probation officers, and Kent, Surrey and Sussex (KSS) provider collaborative colleagues in similar posts.
The role will also provide supervision to the Clinical Leads for Brighton and Crawley Primary Care Mental Health Treatment Requirement team (Reflect Service), based at Brighton and Crawley Probation offices.
Provide professional and clinical leadership to OPD and IIRMS teams providing consultations to offender managers and (in IIRMS) direct clinical support to a high-risk group with offending histories.
