8A Practitioner Psychologist - Enhanced Support Service (ESS) at HMP Foston Hall
We are recruiting to 1xWTE Band 8A Practitioner Psychologist for ACCESS, the Enhanced Support Service at HMP Foston Hall, Derby. We are looking for enthusiastic, robust, resilient, creative, and innovative candidates interested in working with people who have complex presentations, encompassing risk, personality difficulties and mental health.
ACCESS is part of the Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) pathway and is a partnership between HMP Foston Hall, Practice Plus Group, and HMPPS Psychology Services. The service aims to support prisoners at HMP Foston Hall presenting with highly complex needs which are causing them significant distress and preventing them from progressing in their sentence in some way. More specifically, it is for service users who cannot access or are not responding to existing strategies and interventions to manage their behaviour, indicating the need for a higher level of support. ACCESS aims to work collaboratively with service users and/or the professionals involved in their care, to promote stability, psychological wellbeing and positive coping through the provision of intervention and support.
As a result, ACCESS aims to support individuals to engage meaningfully with the regime as well as mainstream services, activities and support as required. Through the provision of staff support, ACCESS also aims to improve the competence, confidence and attitudes of professionals working with complex prisoners, some of whom may present with Personality Disorder and/or mental health needs. We welcome applications from motivated people with leadership skills and experience, who are interested in working with complex presentations, balancing clinical need with risk management. A core part of these roles will be to work alongside colleagues from a range of disciplines sharing psychological knowledge and consistently improving the psychological mindedness of the service. We are looking for people from a range of diverse backgrounds with an interest in working with, supporting and enhancing the lives of people who have experienced adverse life experiences, including trauma and neglect, and have a history of offending behaviour.
Working with this client group can be emotionally taxing requiring a robustness to manage the complex emotions and processes that occur. You will have appropriate access to clinical supervision and support. You will be line managed by a Consultant Psychologist/Strategic Clinical Lead in the Secure Care and Offender Health (SCOH) directorate within Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (BSMHFT).
Welcome to Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. Our 4000 clinical and support staff help us to improve mental health wellbeing and meet the needs of the 70,000 people we serve each year. We provide a range of mental healthcare services across Birmingham and Solihull, as well as specialised services nationally. 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. We are a team of compassionate, inclusive and committed people working together to provide excellent care to support our community. If you are looking for a place to belong, where you can make a real difference to people's lives, join our team where our warm welcome is waiting for you.
