Our passionate team support those who have come into contact with the youth and criminal justice system with a caring, compassionate, person-centered approach to vulnerability screening and assessment for all those above the age of 10. This continues through to providing high quality community-based interventions to not only improve health and social care outcomes but also aim to reduce future re-offending.

You will work collaboratively with Mental Health Services, Drug and Alcohol Services, Social Care, and your Court and Custody colleagues.

This role requires you to provide clinical expertise, be organised, efficient and will be based within police custody or Surrey Courts for the majority of time. You will, at times, be required to travel between Surrey Police Custody and Courts locations during the working day. Full driving licence is required. The police custody suites are located in Staines, Guildford and Salfords. Our service operates shifts 07:00 – 19:00.

You will assess vulnerable individuals focusing on health, social circumstances and risk information as part of your vulnerability assessments. These will cover mental health concerns, substance misuse, learning disabilities, from which you will develop clear care plans and risk management plans to promote the safe onward care of vulnerable people as they leave police custody, whether they are remanded to a court or prison, or are returning to the community. Although the primary focus is Children and Young People, the role covers Adults too.

Your written assessments and supportive plans will support police and court decision making and respond to the assessed person’s needs appropriately.

If you are keen to learn and grow your skills in clinical excellence, by making a real difference to a person's life, within a fast paced, rapidly growing team, this maybe the role for you.

This role requires both enhanced DBS clearance and Sussex Police clearances (NPPV level 2), which we will assist the successful candidate to apply for.
