The post-holder will primarily support services in the North East region, however our delivery model operates across the North & South of Tyne, Durham/Tees Valley and North, West and South Cumbria, and is comprised of Psychologists, Psychological Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Specialist Probation Practitioners and Officers, and staff in support/assistant roles.
The main tasks within this post will include carrying out psychological assessment and intervention, assisting in delivery of staff training and consultation and participation in research, data collection, audits and service evaluation.
Main duties of the job
The post holder's main duties are to assist in the delivery of psychological services in the pathway; providing psychological assessment and specific interventions under the supervision of a qualified Clinical Psychologist, working independently within the limits agreed with the psychology supervisor.
The post holder will produce assessment and intervention professional reports.
The post holder will support the service in the delivery of training and workforce development initiatives.

We aim to attract and retain a diverse, talented and committed workforce, who are caring and compassionate, and therefore able to meet the demands of the modern NHS now and in the future. In return we can offer a dynamic working environment in which to build a career.
NHS Employees identified as at risk of compulsory redundancy and those eligible for the NENC Re-Deployment careers hub will receive prior consideration.
The post is primarily across Northumbria, Durham and Cleveland, with occasional work into Cumbria and can involve regular travel to probation offices and Approved Premises within the area, as well as within the local communities.
