Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit a Band 8b Principal Clinical Psychologist (37.5 hours) covering two Dorset services under the national Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway which input into the Probation Service.


The Dorset Pathways Project (DPP) is a consultation, formulation and training service to Probation staff and the STRIVE Team is an Intensive Integrated Risk Management Service (IIRMS), providing psychological and occupational therapy interventions to individuals under the Probation Service who are high risk to others and have complex trauma / personality difficulties.


The two services are linked and are psychologically led but multidisciplinary including forensic/clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, administrators, and qualified probation staff.


A base for this post is offered in Poole but travel will be expected as the role operates across Dorset, inputting into all the Probation offices including Weymouth, Dorchester, Bournemouth & Poole.


This role is twofold; one part will be providing direct and indirect clinical interventions (consultations, formulations, training and therapeutic work) and the other part will be providing operational leadership, including line management and supervision to staff.


You will be required to collate and present service updates and outcomes to commissioners and input into and support the Clinical Lead with strategy and service development.


You will have specialist skills in risk assessment, formulation and the delivery of highly specialised psychological interventions for individuals who are considered high risk of serious harm to others with significant personality difficulties.


You will provide highly specialised consultations to several agencies including the Probation Service, the Courts, the Prison Service and the Police.

The Principal Clinical Psychologist will need to be able to plan and prioritise their clinical and management workload.
