HMP Oakwood is an innovative prison which has been highlighted by HM Inspectorate of Prisons as an “Impressive institution, with a culture of decency and respect. Driven by courageous leadership, excellent peer-led initiatives and outstanding management of learning and skills provisions”.
Within Care and Rehabilitation Services, the philosophy of our prisons is to rehabilitate offenders and equip them to re-integrate into mainstream society on release. We seek to normalize prison conditions as far as possible to reflect life in the outside community. Our aim is to create an environment in which staff and prisoners feel safe and causes of prison stress are minimized. Central to our philosophy is the relationship between staff and prisoners. Our training and operational practices emphasize the need to treat prisoners with dignity and respect and G4S staff build positive and supportive relationships with the prisoners in their care. HMP Oakwood is one of the largest prisons in England and Wales, providing places for up to approximately 2100 Category C male prisoners.
We now have an opportunity for a Trainee Psychologist to join our team at HMP Oakwood to assist with the implementation of a new suite of interventions at HMP Oakwood and be involved in offering support and consultation to a new resettlement wing for those serving indeterminate and long-term sentences.
The duties and responsibilities listed within this job description are not exhaustive and the job holder is expected to accept reasonable alterations and additional tasks of a similar level that may be necessary from time to time.
The successful candidate will be required to enrol on a contracted accredited qualification in forensic psychology which will support them to achieve registered forensic psychologist status with the HCPC. As such, it is a requirement that they have already gained their master's in forensic psychology.
Experience working in a forensic/secure setting and assessing risk and delivering interventions would be desirable but not essential.
If you join us, you can be sure that you’ll find a secure, friendly and professional working environment and be given all the support, training, and encouragement you need to build and develop a successful career with us.
