Exciting investment at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust (CWPT) allows us to expand our existing Forensic Community Mental Health Team.
This ambitious, 2-year project is backed by significant funding and is focused on transforming mental health services for people who are a risk to others. Systemic Family Therapy is an integral intervention for our service users, and we are excited to pilot the provision in the service.
What we’re working on
- Setting up a dedicated clinic space within a local remand prison
- Improving the transition pathway from secure care to community services
- Embedding forensic specialists into each Community Mental Health Team (CMHT)
- Providing consultation and formulation support to staff and services
- Creating a co-production forum for collaborative service development
- Offering targeted therapeutic interventions in the community
- Delivering comprehensive forensic training for all CWPT staff
- Leading research on community forensic services to shape future care
We are seeking a therapist who can draw upon highly developed theoretical and practice knowledge in Systemic Psychotherapy gained from a master’s or equivalent entry requirements utilising extensive specialist knowledge from qualifications in more than one discipline.
A first post-graduate qualification in appropriate mental health/social welfare profession, for example, social worker/nurse/psychologist or AFSP-agreed equivalent plus a master’s qualification in Systemic Psychotherapy or AFSP-accredited equivalent (usually 4 years academic study, assessed clinical training and supervised practice including the full range of models within systemic practice and life span development).
