Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Psychologist to join the Durham Tees Valley Mental Health Treatment Requirement (DTV MHTR) service within Health and Justice for a three-month fixed period. DTV MHTR is one of three community sentence treatment requirements available for individuals being considered for a community or suspended sentence. The service covers County Durham and Teesside, offering a service into six courts across the two counties. Given the geography there is a considerable amount of travel required in the post. The service is aimed at adults currently going through the Criminal Justice System, who have pled or been found guilty, whose offence meets the threshold for community sentence, and who have consented to engage (the service is voluntary). As part of the team, with compassion you will actively work to support service users to improve mental wellbeing and overall quality of life.

This post is funded by NHS England for recent psychology graduates looking to gain relevant clinical experience, who may be unable to take on unpaid voluntary work. Existing routes to gain clinical experience can be challenging to navigate and can further disadvantage aspiring clinical psychologist psychology graduates who experience financial, educational or social barriers (FESB). Eligibility for the post is detailed below.
