    Psychological Therapist/Practitioner Psychologist - Newport, United Kingdom - Inclusion

    Default job background
    Permanent
    Description

    Job summary

    Your role will involve making a positive difference to the lives of people in prison in the Isle of Wight. You will provide psychological therapy for common and more severe mental health difficulties, as well as providing some consultation and formulation to colleagues appropriate to the banding of the role.

    You will work with the team manager, Senior Cluster Manager and Consultant Clinical Psychologist to ensure that all members of multidisciplinary teams have access to psychologically informed ways of thinking about service users. There will be opportunities to develop and deliver training, as well as to gain experience in delivering psychological therapy within a prison environment.

    Additional tasks may include providing reflective practice spaces for teams, delivery and supervision of group work and involvement in research, evaluation and audit activity.

    Main duties of the job

    We are looking for HCPC registered practitioner (forensic, counselling or clinical) psychologists or appropriately accredited (BABCP or core professional registration with NMC) psychological therapists who are passionate about social justice and reducing health inequalities. Given the challenges of working in a prison environment, in considering the banding of the role, we are looking for people who have experience of working in a prison or other forensic setting, although this does not need to be as a registered practitioner. You will have experience of delivering assessments and evidence-based interventions.

    You will enjoy working independently and have the skills to develop excellent working relationships with service users, colleagues and commissioners. You will support the shared aims of Inclusion and HMPPS to work towards creating more trauma informed environments and services within prisons.
