Are you seeking a community role supporting people leaving prison with their health care needs?
The Dorset Integrated Non-Custodial Service has a vacancy for a Mental Health Practitioner in its Reconnect Service. Reconnect is a care after custody service which aims to increase the access and uptake of community healthcare for individuals who have health needs upon release from HMP Guys Marsh, Portland and The Verne and ensure safe transition to community-based healthcare.
The Reconnect service supports individuals with a varied range of health vulnerabilities and risk, including mental health, learning disability, substance misuse, and those that are end of licence or may require continued supervision in the community under Dorset Probation.
You will work closely with the services Support Workers to plan continuity of care and carry out caseload supervision.
We are looking for practitioners who have real passion for developing their clinical skills in an environment that is ever changing, with a good knowledge of assessment and care planning including comprehensive risk assessment. We highly encourage new ideas and opinions on how to improve the service, seeking someone who is creative, forward thinking and able to meet unexpected challenges in an exciting new role.
Working closely with prison colleagues from Custody Health Care, the Offender Management Unit and the Resettlement Team, you will attend prison discharge meetings, carry out comprehensive assessments both within the prison and the community to identify the needs of the individual and plan the care of those being released. You will also be working with a range of health, social and forensic services in the community such as Dorset Probation and the local authority to identify and assess individuals post release, or those that may be returning to Dorset but released from a prison in another county.
If you are self-motivated, able to work autonomously and show plenty of initiative when it comes to handling a wide range of situations, then this could be the right role for you in a service that you can help shape. As this is a role in an ever-developing environment we highly suggest you contact the service before applying.
