Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Liaison & Diversion (L&D) service, creating a full-time position for a Clinical Lead (HCPC Registered Practitioner Psychologist) to join the team.

This role will be working across L&D (0.6 WTE) and the Mental Health Treatment Requirement (MHTR) service(0.4 WTE), afantastic opportunity to bring 2 services, working across criminal justice services, together.


L&D is intended to improve the health and justice outcomes for adults and children who come into contact with the youth and criminal justice systems where a range of complex needs are identified as factors in their offending behaviour.

L&D is developed to be integrated with the whole range of justice and health, social and voluntary support agencies and take awareness of a range of inter-related projects and programmes and developing initiatives.

MHTR is one of three treatment options available to the court when considering sentencing options.

MHTR is designed to help people who experience mental health difficulties and is an opportunity for someone to engage with treatment while still receiving a sentence:
a form of diversion within, rather than away from, the criminal justice system but outside custody. This treatment will be delivered by the MHTR team, under the direction of the Clinical Lead.

This is an exciting opportunity to develop an inclusive, psychologically led service providing psychosocial interventions as part of court ordered community sentences.

Clinical Lead Psychologist for L&D and MHTR will clinically lead these connected services.


For L&D this will mean providing highly specialist psychological assessment and short-term psychological interventions to individuals coming into the service.

The role will include leading in areas of clinical development, offering support to staff, facilitating reflective practice, providing consultation on clients care to other members of the clinical team, providing education and training for staff, and providing clinical supervision for other professionals.


For MHTR this will mean making the decision as to whether service users are suitable for a primary MHTR from a clinical perspective and approving case formulations and plans of care.

Leading, managing and clinically supervising the MHTR staff team, ensuring models of psychological intervention offered is evidence based and relevant.

Training and service promotion, evaluation and development. Offering psychological intervention to a minority of the most complex service users.

Liaison and development and maintenance of robust relationships with partner agencies and involvement in overall CSTR process evaluation and development.

As this part of the service is in development, there will be a great opportunity to be part of developing this service in directing and enabling new ways of working, which cut across traditional professional and cultural boundaries and developing relationships with key internal and external partners.


We have a huge variety of opportunities in our expansive Trust covering geographically from South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire to Leicester, providing mental health inpatient and community services, community health services, forensic mental health services and secure prison healthcare across the East Midlands.
