Due to expansion of services we are looking for clinical psychologists that want to work with a challenging and stimulating client group. These are key posts providing an exciting opportunity to work in a clinical team at the leading edge of practice in this field.
The team consists of clinical and forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses and prison officers, to provide a therapeutically supportive milieu within which the treatment programme is delivered to prisoners located within a high secure prison wing. This is a strong, enthusiastic team of experienced professionals who are developing an innovative, high profile clinical service for a previously neglected client group.
The organising psychological framework for treatment is cognitive interpersonal. Within this model we deliver structured and unstructured therapy groups and individual therapy. All post holders will be responsible for a particular area of service development depending on knowledge and experience.
All posts have excellent opportunities for CPD and regular clinical supervision.
