Assistant Psychologist; MHTR Practitioner

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Assistant Psychologist to work within our Primary Mental Health Treatment Requirements (MHTR) Service, alongside the Integrated Non-custodial Service (INCS).

The Primary MHTR service provides psychological intervention to people coming into contact with the criminal justice system who are granted a mental health treatment requirement as part of a community order. The Assistant Psychologist (MHTR Practitioner) role is central to assessing suitability and offering brief interventions to this client group, under the supervision of a Principal Practitioner Psychologist (Clinical Lead).

The team, with support of criminal justice partners and colleagues, aims to divert people away from the criminal justice system and short custodial sentences, and reduce reoffending via improving access to psychological interventions by addressing underlying unmet needs.

At Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust (CWPT), we deliver a wide range of physical, mental health, learning disability and autism services, and are proud to serve communities across Coventry, Warwickshire and beyond.

We put ‘people at our heart’; this ethos is at the centre of everything we do and how we do it. We care for our staff and colleagues as much as they care for others and offer a wide range of benefits and development opportunities.

• generous annual leave entitlement which increases during your time with us
• excellent learning and development opportunities, including apprenticeship frameworks, distance learning, internal training, coaching and mentoring, and much more
• salary sacrifice schemes for lease car/ vehicle, Cycle to Work, home and electronics, gym membership and more
• discounts with a range of retailers, restaurants and entertainment venues through our Employee Assistance Programme and NHS discount schemes
• wellbeing support, including an in-house counselling service, external helpline and more
• staff networks and support group

We’re always on the lookout for people who share our passion for improving the lives and wellbeing of people in our community, as well as our values of compassion, collaboration, excellence, integrity and respect.
