Please note this is a national post and can be based anywhere but there is frequent and regular travel (the successful candidate will be expected to travel to different regions to attend regional pathfinder meetings which are monthly). There will also be a requirement to come to London for meetings.

This is a new post within the PSG CT central team. This role will work closely with the Joint Extremism Unit (JEXU) and the Joint Counter Terrorism Prison and Probation Hub (JCTPPH). JEXU is a HMPPS and Home Office venture that was established in April 2017 to be the strategic centre for all CT work in prison and probation. The unit has oversight of operational delivery against the Prevent and Pursue strands of CONTEST. Delivery is underpinned by a specialist CT case management process (Pathfinder), which is delivered by multi-disciplinary teams. Pathfinder focuses on individuals who have been convicted of TACT or TACT connected offences and, those individuals for whom there are concerns they are engaging/ engaged with a Terrorist group, cause and or ideology. It provides end-to-end management of this group. This is the mechanism through which an offender’s risk and rehabilitative pathways are assessed and monitored in relation to the concerns of engagement with an extremist group, cause and or ideology.

The HMPPS teams work proactively at a local, regional and national level, across custody and community, with operational partners, including Police and security services, to case manage individuals, share information and intelligence and assist with active investigations. The regional teams include operational and probation colleagues. Currently Psychology do not attend the regional pathfinder meetings each month. However, after the intelligence breach (Nov 23), there has been an increasing need for appropriately cleared psychologists to provide case consultation regarding risk identification, risk reduction and risk management at the regional pathfinder meetings. This post will establish a ‘sterile corridor’ approach between ERG authors and sensitive intelligence that will ensure ERG authors have the right information at the right time to inform their assessment without compromise to the integrity of the intelligence.
