What we’ll look for in you

The Health in Justice team at Practice Plus Group makes a real difference across over 53 prisons, young offenders and immigration removal centres. We’re the UK’s leading independent provider of NHS services to over 40,000 patients in secure environments, always putting their needs first, regardless of their background.

Practice Plus Group’s purpose is to Unlock your best work life and we stand by our core values:

  • we treat patients and each other as we would like to be treated
  • we act with integrity
  • we embrace diversity
  • we strive to do things better together

Qualifications, skills and experience required:

  • Hold a Degree in Psychology
  • Although not essential, a Masters Degree would be beneficial
  • Have experience within a paid Assistant Psychologist role, whether in a prison, community setting, psychiatric environment
