Compass Associates is working with the UK’s leading healthcare provider within secure environments, to recruit a full-time permanent Consultant Psychiatrist to cover three of their West Yorkshire prisons.

You’d divide your week between three prisons (Category A, Category B remand and Category C) where you’d work with vulnerable males who have high risk behaviours and backgrounds including mental health conditions, addiction, complex trauma and neurodiversity. In addition to working directly with patients, you will have the opportunity to be involved in the strategic development of the prisons’ mental health services as well as being a key member of each prison’s MDT where you’d work with GPs, Psychologists, Specialist Nurses, Pharmacists and ANPs. There is also an opportunity to deliver training to healthcare professionals and prison staff, as well as be involved in audits, research and service development.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Clinical, Forensic or Counselling Psychologist who has experience working within secure, forensic or prison environments as you’d hold a small but complex caseload. As Clinical Lead, you’d provide supervision, advice and senior clinical leadership to more Junior Psychologists and Assistant Psychologists.
