Summary
The post holder will be responsible for delivering services under the national Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway programme to men and women with complex personality difficulties and serious offending histories. This provision will focus on supporting the effective management and engagement of these service users whilst in the community. The NW ICPS incorporates both Core Offender Management (CORE-OM) services, which deliver consultation, training, formulation and joint casework support to the National Probation Service (NPS), and case management and therapeutic interventions through Intensive Intervention and Risk Management Services (IIRMS).
Within the Core-OM provision, the post holder will be responsible for contributing to the delivery of a consultation and liaison service to Offender Managers/National Probation Service within North West London and, occasionally, more widely across London. This work will involve the undertaking of evidence-based screening of caseloads, the facilitation of individual and group consultation/formulation meetings and the promotion of workforce development through the delivery of training to a range of staff including partner agencies and allied professionals. There will also be a requirement to contribute to multiagency working where appropriate, for example through attendance at MAPPA meetings and liaising with Community Mental Health Teams.
Within the IIRMS provision, the post holder will be responsible for providing a specialist psychological service to the multi-disciplinary team and to offenders with personality disorder/difficulties. This work will involve the completion of comprehensive and holistic clinical assessments/formulations/risk management plans, informed by best practice in risk assessment and literature on working with personality disordered offenders, with an emphasis on desistance. There may also be opportunities to contribute to the delivery of the Enhanced IIRMS treatment programmes, which will include, amongst others, Mentalisation Based Treatment, schema therapy, Challenge (for male sexual offenders) and trauma-focused interventions.
