Forensic Liaison Partnership Team - Assistant Psychologist - Band 4 - 2 year fixed term contract
We are excited to launch our brand-new Forensic Liaison Partnership Team within the NSCHT Mental Health Rehabilitation pathway. We are looking to recruit an Assistant Psychologist on a 2 year fixed term basis, to play a key role in the development of this innovative service. We aim to produce a highly skilled team who will support service users transitioning from secure care into the community.
This is a rare and fantastic opportunity to be part of an evolving team that will strengthen the interface between the forensic mental health service and community mental health teams. The Forensic Liaison Partnership team will work to support safe and effective transitions between services and provide support to non-forensic community teams and service users in reducing the risk of readmission to secure care.
The service will be co-produced by accessing peer mentors and lived experience practitioners and carers for advice and consultation.
Purpose
To support and enhance the professional psychological care of people within the Forensic Liaison Service.
