Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland Cpl Healthcare Full time

Staff Grade (Grade II) Clinical or Counselling Psychologist – Wheatfield Prison, Irish Prison Service.

Cpl Healthcare, in partnership with the Irish Prison Service, are recruiting for a locum Psychologist to work as part of the psychology team in Wheatfield prison.

Wheatfield Prison, based in West Dublin, is a closed, medium-security prison for adult males.

This is an excellent opportunity to work as part of a well-structured psychology team alongside other multi-disciplinary team members with clients who present with a broad range of mental health and criminogenic needs. The roles offer excellent training and development opportunities as well as the possibility of permanent employment.

Prison-based Psychologists have regular contact with community agencies involved in the support and resettlement of people leaving custody. They also work with the families and carers of those in custody. Where clinically appropriate, IPS Psychologists provide time-limited community intervention(s) to support a client's transition from custody to community.

The Service plays a critical role in supporting the broader IPS organisation (and Criminal Justice Agency partners, as required) through consultation, training, and education.

Essential Qualifications and Competencies

Candidates must:

  1. Be eligible for graduate membership of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) or the British Psychological Society (BPS).
  2. (i) Hold a postgraduate professional qualification in Clinical Psychology recognised by PSI. (Applicants with qualifications obtained outside of Ireland must obtain a statement of equivalence in Clinical Psychology from the Department of Health);
  3. (ii) Hold a postgraduate professional qualification in Counselling Psychology recognised by PSI. (Applicants with qualifications obtained outside of Ireland must obtain a statement of equivalence in Counselling Psychology from the Department of Health);

(Potential applicants who are considering relocating to Ireland and may have queries or concerns relating to the current Irish validation process should feel free to contact the IPS Psychology Service through CPL Healthcare to discuss and seek support on the process).

In addition to the above, the following are desirable but not essential requirements:

  • Experience in addressing emotional, mental health and/or offence-related difficulties with a forensic or inpatient population.
  • Experience of providing consultation, education, guidance, and support to multidisciplinary colleagues.
  • Further therapeutic or research qualifications.
