There are currently 4 vacancies - one vacancy to work at Wirral Magistrates Court / Probation Office and three vacancies to work at Liverpool & Sefton Magistrates Court / Probation Offices.
The service covers Merseyside and Cheshire, working across the courts and probation services in these regions. The successful applicants will spend their mornings at court assessing individuals for their suitability for an MHTR. They will also work across their local National Probation services, where they will provide short term psychological intervention. As such, travel is apart of this role.
They will be part of a wider team with regular supervision, joint working, CPD, and reflective practice.
The role will be to provide short-term psychological interventions for a range of psychological difficulties and experiences, including low mood and anxiety, anger, loss, trauma, interpersonal problems and learning difficulties. There will also be the opportunity to utilise research skills for audit, policy and service development and research within the area served by the team/service.
The post holder will be expected to work in a range of settings.
Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 1.4 million people across our region and are also commissioned for services that cover the North West, North Wales and the Midlands.
We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.
At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.
Flexible working requests will be considered for all roles.
