Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Evolve Intensive Intervention and Risk Management Service (IIRMS) as an Intervention Worker (Assistant Psychologist).

You will work collaboratively with probation practitioners and partner agencies to support rehabilitation, resettlement and risk reduction.
You will meet service users across a variety of settings including probation offices, prisons, approved premises, healthcare environments and community locations. In addition, you will contribute to multidisciplinary meetings, service evaluation activities, data collection, audit work and the ongoing development of the Evolve service.
