evidenced based interventions are embedded throughout the services. You will
offer clinical guidance, training and leadership across the partnership. You
will use your skill to build on a range of innovative approaches with people
who use substances and offer practical advice on trauma-informed evidence-

organisations. We will also expect you to have a small caseload of service
users with complex needs, providing specialist psychological assessments and
therapies.

Recovery Partnership on strategic partnership meetings across Lincolnshire.

Further, you will contribute to the strategic direction and development of the

other statutory and voluntary service providers and using your expertise to
put relevant support and education structures in place. You will also explore
ways to continuously improve our services and integrate wider issues -
housing, employment and finances, for example – into the overall treatment
process.

You will be invited to work with our national team of Clinical, Counselling
and Forensic Psychologists to develop psychological and psycho-social
approaches used across services, and to pursue a therapeutic specialism that
fits with service needs. You will provide clinical supervision, guidance and

the Recovery Agenda, will all contribute to you becoming a vital member of our
