This post offers an exciting opportunity for an assistant psychologist with an interest in working with people with offending history and complex personality difficulties. London Pathways Partnership (LPP) is a consortium of five NHS Trusts co-delivering a pan-London Integrated Community Pathways Service (ICPS) for the Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway alongside Probation Service London (PSL) colleagues.

The OPD Pathway programme provides services to men and women with complex psychological difficulties and serious offending histories, and to the multi-agency professionals working with them. The Southeast London Integrated Community Pathways Service (ICPS) is a team of psychologists, psychotherapists, clinical practitioners and probation practitioners that provides both direct and indirect support to people on probation presenting with complex personality difficulties and a high risk of harm to others with the joint aims of reducing offending and improving psychological wellbeing.
