The Role

Are you interested in providing evidence based psychological assessment and therapeutic interventions to people within the Criminal Justice System made subject to Community Sentence Treatment Requirements (CSTR)?



We are recruiting two Mental Health Treatment Requirement Practitioners to join our team. This post will work closely with our criminal justice partners, including prisons, probation and courts, to deliver high quality services that support people whose offending is associated with mental health issues.
