Jobbeschreibung

Are you a compassionate Assistant Psychologist who is enthusiastic about forensic mental health?

We're looking for a motivated and thoughtful individual to join our Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway, where you'll play a key role in delivering psychologically-informed support to individuals with complex needs.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established and expanding service, where you'll work closely with experienced Clinical Psychologists and be supported to develop your skills in assessment, formulation and intervention. You'll be part of a small, knowledgeable and supportive team that values reflective practice, wellbeing and continuous professional development.

The OPD Pathway is a specialist service and a joint initiative between His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and NHS England, working with high-risk offenders who experience severe personality disorder. Our team sits within the wider Somerset Forensic Service, offering opportunities to collaborate with a range of services including community forensic teams, inpatient settings, and criminal justice partners.
