This is a unique and exciting opportunity for a Clinical Lead to join an innovative, clinically and forensically skilled, centralised Offender Health team offering highly specialist risk formulation and management advice, guidance, training and expertise to teams and clinicians working across all divisions in the trust.

The role of the Clinical Lead involves extensive liaison between external agencies central to MAPPA i.e. the Police and Probation which supports the governance arrangements set out by the trust regarding MAPPA. The Clinical Lead will ensure that the quality of the MAPPA and victim liaison operations is of a high standard through regular auditing and benchmarking.
