Job Overview
We are looking to recruit 2 full-time Band 6 Forensic Trainee Psychologists into the Specialised PD Probation Service at AWP. Specialised PD, otherwise known as OPD, is a large, community-based, multidisciplinary team that has developed innovative approaches to working with high-risk offenders with Personality Disorders. These service users are seen by the National Probation Service in Avon, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire, and OPD covers the caseload within these areas.
As a service, we cover Probation Offices based in Bristol, Bath, North Somerset, Swindon, Chippenham, Salisbury, Gloucester, and Cheltenham. In addition, we cover 3 Male and 1 Female Approved Premises in Bristol, and 1 Male Approved Premises in Gloucester.
We support a hybrid working model where we encourage staff to work from home 40% of the working week, and in an office space for 60% of their working week. Each staff member has an allocated geographical area with a central office in that area. Though this post is based primarily in Avon or Wiltshire, there will be occasional travel to other areas covered by OPD, or for training, conferences, or external meetings.
