This post offers an exciting opportunity for a Clinical/Forensic/Counselling Psychologist or Psychological Therapist to work with people on probation with complex personality difficulties who pose a high risk of harm to others. The post is part of the Community OPD Pathway in London, a joint enterprise between NHS and His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), aiming to reduce reoffending and improve psychological wellbeing.
The successful applicant will work across the London OPD Housing and Accommodation Support Service (OPD HASS) and the South East London Integrated Community Pathways Service (SE ICPS).
Within HASS, the post holder will provide specialist consultation, training, and reflective staff support to staff working in a supported accommodation project for people on the OPD pathway.
The SE ICPS comprises Psychological Therapists, Clinical Practitioners, and Probation Officers that support people on the OPD Pathway through direct and indirect work.
In the indirect component, the post holder will support probation practitioners in identifying and managing individuals at high risk of serious offending linked to personality difficulties. This includes offering individual and group consultations, joint working, training, staff support, and reflective practice.
In the direct component, the post holder will work directly with high-risk individuals, conducting intake assessments and developing treatment and management plans.
