Forensic Rehabilitation Psychologist (Hiring Immediately)
Turning Point Leicester Full-time
Job Introduction
**(Part Time - 30 Hours Other Part Time Options Considered)**
At Turning Point, we are recognised leaders in helping people recover fromaddiction and gain control of their lives. By providing the right support at
the right time, and making sure that people can find all the help they need
through a single point of contact, we have grown into one of the largest
providers of substance misuse services in England and Wales. Right now, we are
now looking for a talented Chartered Clinical, Counselling or Forensic
Psychologist to ensure the effective management, development and delivery of
all psycho-social interventions within newly formed MHTR team based within our
substance misuse services in LLR.
This newly established Primary Mental Health Treatment Requirement serviceoffers an opportunity to people in the criminal justice system to be offered
psycho-social interventions as an alternative to custodial sentences. It is
one of a national network of MHTRs which are psychology-led. Turning Point
MHTR services emphasize a bespoke approach to each client, drawing on a number
of evidence-based interventions to plan treatment programmes for each client.
For this reason we emphasize regular supervision of the team to ensure
delivery of high quality and bespoke interventions and use of standardized
outcome measures
### Role Responsibility
You will offer clinical guidance, training and leadership to a team of SeniorAssistant and Assistant Psychologists who facilitate psycho-social
interventions with individuals on a Mental Health Treatment Requirement. You
will use your expertise to build on a range of innovative approaches developed
within other Turning Point MHTR services, working closely with their Clinical
Lead under the supervision of a Consultant Clinical Psychologist. In addition
to being responsible for the systematic governance of the Leicestershire MHTR
service alongside operational colleagues, you will offer practical advice on
evidence-based psychological interventions to colleagues as well as local
agencies and organisations.
Inspiring, developing and coordinating everyone on your team will of course, be a vital part of your role. Helping Senior Assistant, AssistantPsychologists and Peer Support Workers and teams to develop psychological
formulation skills and a trauma-informed approach is a central part of this
role. We will also ask you to have a small caseload of service users with
complex needs, providing specialist psychological assessments and therapies.
Beyond the operational level, you will have a significant impact on thestrategic direction and development of the service as a whole. This will
include building strong professional links with other statutory and voluntary
service providers and using your expertise to develop meaningful support
networks for our clients. You will also explore ways to continuously improve
our services and integrate wider issues - housing, employment and finances, for example – into the overall treatment process. You will be invited to work
with our national team of Clinical, Counselling and Forensic Psychologists to
develop psychological and psycho-social approaches used across services and to
further develop your career in a therapeutic specialism that fits with service
needs.
### The Ideal Candidate
Along with up to date registration through the Health and Social ProfessionsCouncil (HCPC) as a Clinical, Counselling or Forensic Psychologist, you will
need a doctorate in your professional specialism and proven ability to deliver
psychological services. Your experience of leading and supervising clinical
staff will ideally be supported by experience of working with substance misuse
Service Users. Formal training in supervision, whilst not essential, would be
desirable. Excellent communication skills, adaptability and commitment to the
Recovery Agenda, will all contribute to you becoming a vital member of our
clinical leadership team.
