Are you passionate about working with women in the Criminal Justice System and looking to develop your leadership skills?
We are now recruiting to this Women's Transitional Mental Health Lead within the Thames Valley Offender Personality Disorder Pathway, developing and leading a pilot service supporting women with complex mental health needs and significant offending histories to successfully move on from custody. This transition is often a time of increased anxiety, especially for women who have experienced significant trauma and adversity.
To be successful in this role, you should be a Psychologist (newly qualified or experienced), Social Worker or Mental Health Nurse.
You will provide liaison and advocacy to support women to access and engage with relevant services and will carry a small caseload of women to support directly. You will build strong working relationships with professionals from a variety of settings including prison, probation and community mental health and social care.
You will join a specialist and highly supportive team with regular CPD and excellent opportunities for career development.
This post will be fixed-term for 24 months.
WE WOULD WELCOME A CONVERSATION PRIOR TO APPLICATION. Please contact Dr. Rosie Winder, Principal Clinical Psychologist & Thames Valley WOPD Lead at rosie.winder@justice.gov.uk in the first instance.
- You will forge strong working relationships with professionals from a variety of agencies and will have excellent communication and negotiation skills.
- You will have a good working knowledge of mental health legislation and use this to advocate for the women on your caseload.
- You will be confident to work independently for much of the time and to manage your own caseload.
- You will line manage and supervise a Band 5 Research Assistant.
- This post involves a combination of remote working and travel across Thames Valley, plus occasional visits to the four women's prisons located across the South of England. Access to a car or motorbike is therefore essential.
