This post offers an exciting opportunity for a Consultant Level Psychological Therapist with an interest in working with people with offending history and complex personality difficulties to take a lead role in implementing the London Pathways Partnership (LPP) strategic plan. The London Pathways Partnership (LPP) is a partnership of five NHS Trusts co-delivering Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) services across several prisons in the Southeast of England and a pan-London Integrated Community Pathways Service (ICPS) in London, alongside HMPPS colleagues. The OPD Pathway programme provides services to men and women with complex psychological difficulties and serious offending histories, and to the multi-agency professionals working with them. Oxleas is the LPP Lead NHS Trust and will be the host trust for this post.
