Job summary
The post holder will be responsible for working in Health and Justice (H&J) Services, dependent on skill and service need. Health and Justice is not itself a treatment service, but it is an identification, assessment and short term support service.
There will be Health and Justice Practitioners within Custody Suites, Courts and Prisons (RECONNECT) to identify and assess vulnerable individuals. It uses assessments to make appropriate referrals for treatment and support, and ensures criminal justice practitioners are notified of specific health requirements and vulnerabilities of an individual, which can be taken into account when decisions about charging and sentencing are made.
The post holder will be responsible for providing short term support to vulnerable individuals upon leaving Custody or Court, where further support is required. The post holder will be responsible for working closely with the individual to prioritise need/s and plan actions to address the identified need/s.

The role will involve ongoing assessment, accessing and implementing a wide and, at times, complex range of care services across an ageless Service.
The post holder will be responsible for carrying out assigned tasks as part of the Health and Justice Service
