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 service offers 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 Senior Assistant 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, Assistant Psychologists 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 the strategic 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 Professions Council (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. About us As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer. We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people.
