Role Overview
This is an exciting and new role within the prison, playing a fundamental part in Mitie's vision to establish a restorative and rehabilitative culture at HMP Millsike for both staff and prisoners.
The role is based on psychology principles, exploring learning and behaviour to support individuals in making meaningful changes. It involves identifying measurable goals and implementing evidence-based interventions to help individuals develop new skills and reduce challenging behaviours. The aim is to help prison staff and prisoners understand the functionality of certain behaviours and create strategies to reduce or minimise them, thereby increasing engagement with the prison regime.
Examples of behaviours targeted include recurring disruptive behaviours, violence, self-harming behaviours, and harmful behaviours associated with personality disorders (diagnosed or undiagnosed). The successful candidate will work with the psychology team to inform and support operational staff in managing complex behaviours.
Person Specification
The candidate must be registered and certified with a professional body such as the UK-SBA or BCBA. They should hold a recognized qualification like an MSc in Applied Behaviour Analysis or Behaviour Analysis and Therapy. Completion of the UK-SBA Supervision and Competence Standards is preferred. Candidates must maintain CPD to retain their certification during employment with Mitie. Relevant experience in custodial, secure, or challenging behaviour environments is required. Excellent communication skills are essential for co-creating support plans with operational staff and other service providers. Skills in risk assessment, working within multidisciplinary teams, being proactive, training staff, and enabling staff to implement care plans are also essential.
