If so, this could be the job for you! Health & Justice Vulnerability Service is an exciting NHS England initiative which continues to grow and expand across Birmingham and Solihull. The MHTR team provide support to individuals who have been given a court mandate for psychological intervention as an alternative to a custodial sentence. MHTR work in partnership with Birmingham Magistrates and Crown Court, Probation Services and local Woman's centres to ensure that individuals in receipt of an MHTR have the best opportunity to access and sustain engagement with psychological intervention, with the aim of reducing reoffending. This will be achieved through providing coordinated intervention, support, and risk management across multiple agencies, including health, criminal justice, local authority, substance misuse services, employment services and voluntary sector organisations.

This post is best suited to a professional with a background in teaching, counselling, social work, family work or nursing, who has some prior training and experience of delivering psychological interventions. Prior experience of providing support or supervision to a staff group would also be desirable.
