1.0 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.
The division’s psychological provision is multi-model and includes CBT; CAT; DBT; MBT and EMDR. 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. The Consultant Psychologist role will involve leading and managing a team of psychological professionals and staff from other disciplines.
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. Good leadership and communication skills, a commitment to multi-disciplinary working, excellent time management and organisational skills are essential . Experience of secure inpatient environments, community pathways, working with those who have experienced adverse early life experiences all is highly desirable.

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.
