Feedback given by an employee in a Psychologist post within OPD/IIRMS - 'This role is an excellent and varied opportunity to develop your consultation, formulation, reflective practice facilitation and clinical decision-making skills. Depending on service need, you will be given the creative licence to design and deliver bespoke training/workshops to probation practitioners and approved premises staff. For newly qualified practitioners, there is also an opportunity to practice and develop supervisory skills. This is a fantastic way to understand the role of probation and work collaboratively to reduce reoffending and improve psychological outcomes for people on probation. This also includes holding a small
caseload (dependent on service need) where you can 'think outside the box' to tailor and deliver time-limited interventions. The team is small but incredibly supportive and work closely together, to ensure people on probation have access to the right level of support on the OPD pathway. There are strong working relationships between Psychology and OT to respond in a holistic manner. There is consistent support through regular supervision and access to group reflective practice. There are opportunities for CPD to enhance knowledge and skills in your working with individuals with personality difficulties. Finally, this is a hybrid role where you can comfortably manage your own diary allowing you to exercise autonomy and flexibility'.
