About the role

Based between Brighton and Worthing Probation offices, you will work closely with partner agencies, including the Probation Service and CGL, delivering high-quality, evidence-based, psychologically informed interventions to individuals with complex and often marginalised needs.

You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, contributing to clinical governance, data collection, and service development under the supervision of the clinical lead. With support, you will undertake psychological assessments and deliver tailored interventions.
