Practitioner Psychologist

At Turning Point, we are recognised leaders in supporting people to recover from addiction and regain control of their lives.

Our work spans substance use, learning disabilities and mental health, and we focus on providing timely, person‑centred support.

By ensuring people can access the help they need through a single point of contact, we have grown into one of the largest providers of substance use services across England and Wales. We are now seeking a skilled and compassionate HCPC‑registered Clinical, Counselling or Forensic Psychologist to support the effective delivery of psycho‑social interventions across our Southwest MHTR services, covering Swindon, Somerset and North Somerset.

As a Practitioner Psychologist you will provide clinical supervision, guidance and training to a team of Senior Assistant and Assistant Psychologists who deliver psycho‑social interventions to individuals subject to a Mental Health Treatment Requirement (MHTR).

You will draw on your expertise to further develop the innovative approaches used within Turning Point’s MHTR services, ensuring they align with nationally agreed standards and evidence‑based practice.

Alongside operational colleagues, you will contribute to the effective governance of the Southwest MHTR services and offer thoughtful, evidence‑informed advice to colleagues, local agencies and partner organisations.

You will receive supervision from a Forensic Psychologist who serves as the Southwest MHTR Clinical Lead, who is in turn supported by the National MHTR Lead, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist.

This is a remote, full time, fixed term position for 12 months.
