DTV MHTR is one of three community sentence treatment requirements available for individuals being considered for a community or suspended sentence.

The service is aimed at adults currently going through the Criminal Justice System, who have pled or been found guilty, whose offence meets the threshold for community sentence, and who have consented to engage (the service is voluntary). As part of the team, with compassion you will actively work to support service users to improve mental wellbeing and overall quality of life.

This post is funded by NHS England for recent psychology graduates looking to gain relevant clinical experience, who may be unable to take on unpaid voluntary work.

Under supervision of a Forensic Psychologist, you will provide eligibility assessments for those referred into the service and produce assessment reports outlining proposed intervention pathways. Working alongside colleagues, partner organisations such as Probation and the courts to ensure aims and objectives of the service are met, we also have a large research agenda which you will be heavily involved in.

Applicants must have a degree in Psychology and be eligible for graduate membership of the British Psychological Society

We have a commitment to staff development and have an excellent track record for developing our psychology workforce.
