Description

We are recruiting a permanent position at the CAMEO service, based at HMP Foston Hall, Derby - a personality disorder treatment service based within the prison estate for female service users who have complex needs.

You will be part of the Secure Care and Offender Health Team and trust wide Arts Psychotherapies Service.

Across the trust in recent years, the provision of art, music and drama therapies has grown significantly, and we are proud to offer a career structure from entry-level to Consultant Art Psychotherapist.

We have a network of arts psychotherapists located in community hubs, Secure Care and Offender Health, and specialist services.

We are looking for people from a range of diverse backgrounds with an interest in working with, supporting and enhancing the lives of people who have experienced adverse life experiences, including trauma and neglect, and have a history of offending behaviour.

Post holders, under the supervision, will assist in delivering a range of individual and group interventions addressing emotional, behavioural and relational factors in order to improve service users' recovery and wellbeing.

The post holders will support the direct assessment, formulation and delivery of interventions to address the full range of complex forensic mental health problems.

They will also contribute to the production of risk assessments and behavioural management plans and be key in providing psychologically informed advice and support for those directly involved in the care of the individual.

They would also support training, supervision and evaluation of the delivery of individual behavioural management plans, risk management activity and service user involvement.

The post holders should have some experience in providing some supervision to a staff group and be able to identify and co-ordinate the need for systemic support.

Welcome to Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
