We are looking for an experienced and compassionate senior psychological professional to join us as Professional Lead for the Psychological Professions in our Forensic Health Services. This is a significant leadership role within the Specialist Division, offering the chance to shape a pathway, a culture and a system, while working alongside committed colleagues who are ambitious about the contribution of psychological professions to forensic care. The role will provide strategic leadership across low and medium secure inpatient services, Forensic Outreach Services, the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway and Mental Health Treatment Requirement services. The majority of services are in Sussex, with some extending into Surrey, and all are part of the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Provider Collaborative.

The role is open to practitioner psychologists, psychological therapists and psychotherapists who meet the requirements of the relevant attached job description and person specification. We would warmly welcome applications from candidates who can bring senior clinical credibility, professional leadership experience and a strong commitment to developing psychologically informed services for people with forensic histories or at risk of offending.
Main duties of the job
Working as a core member of the Forensic Health Services leadership team, and in close collaboration with the Director of Psychological Professions and senior operational and clinical colleagues, you will bring a distinctive psychological voice to service development, risk governance, culture change and partnership working. You will help ensure that formulation-driven practice, evidence-based interventions and compassionate, trauma-informed approaches are embedded across forensic pathways, in line with the Trust strategy and the Psychological Professions strategic priorities for 2025-2030.
You will provide professional leadership, and where appropriate line management, to registered and unregistered psychological professionals across forensic inpatient, community, outreach and specialist pathway services.

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health, learning disability and neurodevelopmental services across diverse coastal, rural and urban communities, with strong links to partners across health, social care, probation and criminal justice. Within Forensic Health Services, you will be joining committed multidisciplinary teams and senior leaders who want the psychological professions to be visible, valued and influential in improving care. Together, we are working to strengthen reflective, compassionate and inclusive approaches for people who may present with complex mental health needs, offending histories, trauma and risk.
