Summary
We are supportive of flexible working arrangements and engagement with wider OPD pathway meetings, specifically the PERS Clinical Leads meetings for the sharing of good practice across the PERS services. Support, supervision and line management will be provided by the Consultant Psychologist. Whilst the contract is currently 12 months fixed term, there is work underway to align and remodel the staffing structure, so there may be opportunity for extension or for the role to be converted into a substantive post. The post holder will provide clinical leadership to a small team of NHS and Prison staff to develop and deliver the SOLAR Service. They will work as part of a team to deliver the PERS model for individuals with difficulties arising from trauma and problematic personality traits and most likely to struggle in open conditions. The post holder will contribute to and lead multi-disciplinary team discussions and decision making processes. The post holder will be responsible for engaging with their own supervision and reflective practice and to support team members in offering supervision and reflective practice. The post holder will work in partnership with the Custodial Manager and Head of Function to produce outcome data, audits and evaluation and to liaise with commissioners for performance review as required. They will also work collaboratively to support the development of awareness and psychologically informed working practices and culture within the prison environment. The post holder will work with the Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Area Manager to support the development of the SOLAR service. The post holder will liaise with the wider OPD pathway team at a national and regional level. Please be advised Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has made the difficult decision to serve notice on its offender health contracts. Over the coming months, we will be working with NHS England on the transition of the services to a new provider. We still need to recruit to these valued positions and welcome your application. But, in line with our values, honesty is important, so please note that if you are successful that in time your employment would move from Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust to another provider who would then be your new employer.
