You will have up to 4 appointments for a clinical session and the expected number of clinical appointments per day can be up to 8, but is typically between 2 and 6. You will contribute to weekly MDT meetings with partnership agencies in the prison and also chairing a weekly zoning meeting/caseload review with the mental health team. You will also be expected to contribute to Parole Hearings and meetings where requested and coordinate referrals and transfers to outside agencies.
