Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust
We have an exciting opportunity on a 12 month fixed term contract or secondment for a compassionate applicant with either a professional registration in mental health nursing or allied health profession to undertake the Clinical Specialist role within the North East-wide Enhanced Reconnect Service. The role involves working within a psychology led multidisciplinary team to support prison leavers with complex health needs in overcoming barriers to accessing healthcare services upon their release from custody. The post holder will work in both prison and community settings across the North East to support people in the final months of their sentence and up to a year post-release. Main duties of the job
This role is in the Enhanced Reconnect Service, based at Lanchester Road Hospital and covering the whole of the North East, including Northumberland. The service is one of four national pilots supporting prison leavers assessed as presenting high risk of harm with complex health needs linked with their offending. The service prioritises individuals convicted of terrorism-related offences and those identified as at risk of extremism. One of the national pilot objectives is to address health needs that if left unmet could lead to extremist behaviours. The postholder will work closely with probation/prison colleagues and will form excellent working relationships with health and care services across the area. The postholder will lead on the care of a small number of individuals, supporting their transition from prison to community. Therapeutic intervention is delivered with the aim of supporting individuals to access healthcare services, rather than replacing existing provision. Supervising other professionals forms part of the role. The postholder will be a key member of the leadership team supporting the Trust values of compassion, respect, and responsibility. The successful candidate will contribute to service development through audit, service evaluation and research. The post also offers excellent opportunities for peer support/ supervision and teaching/ training opportunities. About us
