Band 7/8a Psychologist
Norfolk & Suffolk Foundation NHS Trust View all jobs
Posted 15 day(s) ago
Reference: 2420170
Job summary
We are seeking a Clinical, Counselling or Forensic Psychologist (Band 8a) to join the Norfolk and Suffolk Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Service for 22.5 hours per week. Applications are also welcomed from experienced Band 7 Psychologists wishing to progress through a supported preceptorship pathway into the full Band 8a role.
This varied post spans two complementary services: the Core OPD Service and IIRMS (see descriptions below). The role combines consultation, training, reflective practice, formulation-led intervention and multi-agency collaboration. You will support professionals and services to develop psychologically informed approaches to risk, relationships and behaviour, while contributing to work with individuals presenting with complex emotional and interpersonal difficulties.
Whilst there is some opportunity for direct face-to-face work within the IIRMS service, much of the role involves influencing outcomes indirectly through consultation, formulation and support to professionals, teams and multi-agency systems.
The NSFT team base is at Northside House, Norwich. Attendance is typically required every other week, including Wednesdays when the team comes together for meetings, reflective practice and service development. The role also requires regular travel to probation, NHS and partner agency sites across Norfolk and Suffolk. Hybrid working can be supported where service needs allow.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will work across two services:
Core OPD Service
The Core OPD Service works across Norfolk and Suffolk to enhance the knowledge, confidence and skills of probation practitioners and partner agencies when working with individuals who present with personality difficulties, complex trauma and significant offending-related risks. The service delivers consultation, training, reflective practice and formulation-informed support to help staff and systems respond effectively to complexity.
Intensive Intervention and Risk Management Service (IIRMS)
The Intensive Intervention and Risk Management Service (IIRMS) is a specialist, formulation-driven service supporting a small caseload of approximately 15 service users at any one time. The service works with individuals presenting with high levels of complexity, need and risk and provides intensive support through a "through the gate" approach, supporting people as they transition from custody into the community for up to two years. The service aims to improve engagement, wellbeing, stability and risk management through psychologically informed interventions and close multi-agency working.
About us
At Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, inclusion is at the heart of how we work. We are committed to creating a fair, transparent and accessible recruitment process where every candidate has the opportunity to succeed.
We actively encourage applications from people from all backgrounds, particularly those currently underrepresented in our workforce, including those from the global majority. We recognise that not everyone has equal access to opportunities and are working to address this.
We are committed to providing reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process and ensuring all candidates receive a positive and equitable experience.
Here at NSFT we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly and supportive team who like nothing better than sharing experiences and learning from each other. In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we are committed to providing an environment in which you can thrive.
Why work for us? We have challenges as a Trust, but we have ambitious aspirations, are pushing ahead with exciting transformation work and we need dedicated individuals to support us on our journey. We have strong, established professional networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.
