Applied Psychologist - Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom - Inclusion
Description
Job summary
We are looking for a Principal Applied Psychologist (Clinical/Forensic/Counselling) to support the implementation and delivery of the Framework for Integrated Care (Secure Stairs) at HMYOI Werrington which is part of the Young Person's Secure Estate for England and is located near Stoke-on-Trent. It accommodates males aged 15-18 and has an operational capacity of 120. A recently published review by the HM Inspectorate of Prison and Probation (HMPPS) found that "the most consistently cited factor in improving the life chances of a child who is at risk of, or involved in, offending behaviour is the development of positive relationships."
This framework is psychologically lead, and attachment informed, with many needs and risks understood as arising from traumatic life events and disrupted relationships, often beginning early in childhood. The ethos of the framework is that 'every interaction matters', the aim being to enable those in our care to have better mental and physical health; better education, employment and housing opportunities; and better chances of leading a pro-social and positive life.
If you are already a Principal Applied Psychologist, or looking to take the next step in your career, then we would love to hear from you.
Main duties of the job
In this role you will work closely with the Clinical Lead to support the implementation and delivery of the clinical aspects of Integrated Care (Secure Stairs), working closely with operational colleagues to address any barriers within the establishment. There is an opportunity to be part of the national network of youth justice settings running Secure Stairs and to benefit from learning and peer support.
Other key duties:
Work as a senior member of the Inclusion Team (comprising a WTE Consultant Forensic Psychologist/Clinical Lead for Integrated Care, WTE Clinical Psychologist, Assistant Psychologist, plus Registered Mental Health Nurses, Substance Misuse workers, Psychosocial practitioners and a wider multi-disciplinary team.
Deliver and supervise high quality evidence based psychological interventions
Continue to support the development and implementation of the Framework for Integrated Care(Secure Stairs)
Supervise and deliver reflective practice sessions
Work as a senior member of the Inclusion psychology team, deputising for the Clinical Lead as needed.
