    Default job background
    Description
    0 WTE CLINICAL/FORENSIC CONSULTANT PSYCHOLOGIST

    Band 8C (2 year Secondment / Fixed Term ) Ardenleigh


    Ardenleigh consists of 30 bedded Women's Blended Secure Service plus an outreach service and a 10 bedded medium secure FCAMHS service as well as a community Youth FIRST service.

    Inpatient service users are detained under the Mental Health Act and have a history of actual or potential harm to others.

    Intervention is offered across medium and low levels of security.


    This post provides an exciting opportunity to make a significant contribution to the leadership, management and delivery of psychological services within the Secure Care and Offender Health (SCOH) division.

    There are currently around 80 psychological staff within SCOH across a variety of inpatient and community services, a number of which are psychologically led.

    These additional contracts involve a training and consultation project with the Probation service and are part of the OPD pathway.

    Also, part of this pathway are a prison based personality disorder day treatment service for women (CAMEO) and intensive intervention and risk management service (PROSPER enhanced IIRMS) which offer services for both men and women.

    Also within the division are a forensic parenting assessment service, a consultation service with West Midlands police and a new Enhanced Reconnect pilot project working with high risk, high complex men and women leaving prison.

    Creative therapies are also embedded in services.

    The emphasis is to provide a high quality, inclusive psychological service for individuals with complex, often high risk and long term problems.


    The post reflects a leadership role in the management of services and the strategic development of psychological service provision to offer a safe, effective, and valued clinical service with pathways to support recovery.

    We are looking for an enthusiastic, robust, inclusive and innovative practitioner interested in developing services, as well as undertaking clinical and therapeutic work with people with complex presentations.

    A commitment to developing psychologically minded and well informed professional teams with a quality and inclusive focus is important.

    Collaborating with service users and their families and carers and including their perspectives across all clinical and service developments is expected.

    Experience of secure inpatient environments, community pathways, working with those who have experienced adverse early life experiences all is highly desirable.

    We also offer medical, nursing and psychology training and are proud of our international reputation for both research and innovation.


    Our population is culturally diverse, characterised in places by high levels of deprivation which create an increasing demand for our services and a necessity for us to make sure everyone can access the help they need.

    Experience of working with a wide variety of client groups, with service users of all ages across the lifespan and of wide-ranging presenting problems that reflect the full spectrum of clinical complexity and severity.

    Relevant post-qualification experience, and formal training in supervision, enabling the post holder to independently supervise clinical/forensic psychology trainees in accordance with relevant criteria adopted by local University Psychology Training Course criteria

    Experience of the multi-professional management of teams or services.
    Experience of the application of psychology in different cultural contexts.
    Formal post qualification training in relevant leadership and / or management skills.

    Advanced level knowledge of the theory and practice of highly specialised psychological therapies and assessment methodologies.

    Commitment to the involvement of service users and carers on the development and delivery of mental health and other care services.

    Ability to identify and to provide and promote appropriate means of support to carers and staff exposed to highly distressing situations and severely challenging behaviour.
