Whilst there is flexibility in allocation of individual responsibilities, the overarching model is one of integrated working across the mental health multidisciplinary teams. This post-holder will have his or her base at HMP Portland and HMP The Verne for the allocated PAs, where the mental health service comprises a full multidisciplinary team, including mental health practitioners, occupational therapists, and Recovery workers, and a psychology team, supported by a clinical lead.
