HMPPS London community provision spans 32 local Authorities, 34 NHS Trusts,1 Criminal Court Cluster, and the Major’s Office for Policing and Crime. Each of these elements contribute to the rich environment in which LPS operates. LPS supports services across the 6 Public Sector Prisons (Brixton, Highdown, Isis, Pentonville, Wandsworth, Wormwood Scrubs), through Risk Assessment, Interventions, Consultancy, Research, and Training. LPS also provide a significant safety offer in partnership with our Health and Custodial colleagues, delivering Enhanced Support Services at individual sites. Other notable populations include those convicted of Sexual and Violent Offending, those serving Indeterminate Sentences, and Young Adults. LPS community Services are less established and provide an opportunity for further innovation as we work in partnership with the Regional Probation Director and their teams. The LPS team is relatively small offering a close network of support and cross over working, whilst also benefitting from being part of the larger network of HMPPS Psychology Services Group (PSG). Continued Professional Development is a focus for LPS with learning and development opportunities actively encouraged and promoted. London Area offers excellent variety of opportunity and an ability to deliver across a range of sites and delivery units. LPS are keen to attract Registered Psychologists who have an appetite for working in a dynamic, vibrant, and sometimes challenging system. Successful applicants will become part of a professional and committed team with considerable experience and expertise.
