We are seeking to appoint and enthusiastic Service Manager to join or Forensic Community Service for the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway covering Surrey and Sussex and Reflect (Mental Health Treatment Requirement) team in Brighton. We are seeking to recruit an experienced and motivated individual.

SPFT is involved in working with National Probations Service partners to deliver a range of services as part of the Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) pathway programme. Core aspects of the OPD services are the formulation of clinically justifiable links between the traits associated with personality difficulties and the identified risk and the formulations of appropriate treatment and management plans informed by this understanding.

The Intensive Intervention and Risk Management Service works with individuals leaving prison or forensic mental health care to support successful transitions to community living. The services provide a range of support depending on the person's needs.

This national initiative was launched following consultation led by the Department of Health and the Ministry of Justice which resulted in the re-investment of resources following the re-configuration of the Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder Programme.

In addition to the OPD role you will maintain responsibility for the Reflect service, who provide primary mental health services as part of community sentencing orders.
