About the Job:

HMP Wormwood Scrubs is seeking a highly experienced, motivated and autonomous Advanced Nurse Practitioner to join their team. You will be proficient in managing patients within a primary care setting and you will have experience in dealing with physical health concerns, mental health issues and minor injuries; ideally you will also have experience delivering urgent care and trauma also.

About You:

Experience in substance misuse is advantageous, but you can be supported in achieving competencies in this domain by clinical supervision and formal training courses. You will be an integral part of the medical team, conducting clinics independently, completing administrative tasks (prescriptions, referrals, pathology results) and supporting or acting as the Duty Doctor and reception processes. You will need to be flexible in your approach, willing to work weekends and evenings, on a rotational shift pattern. Additionally you will be involved in the educational and professional development of the nursing team through clinical supervision sessions both on the wings and formal teaching opportunities.

Further job information:

This is a part time role working 22.5 hours per a week. You will be supported by a well-established medical and management team and will have the opportunity to participate in clinical audit and other quality improvement activities. We can offer (up to) £50,000 pro-rata for part-time position and can be flexible with days of work. You will also have access to a free gym on site (outside of regime hours), free parking, paid holiday and bank holidays and scope for development and extended scope of practice. We would actively encourage you to contact the team at HMP Wormwood Scrubs for an informal chat and or visit – for more information, please speak to Victoria Bailey, Head of Healthcare, 020 8388 3392. Please note that offers of employment are subject to Care UK Terms & Conditions and receipt of satisfactory references, enhanced DBS check and prison vetting. At Care UK, we actively promote diversity and equal opportunities.

Care UK is the Health in Justice Market leader, providing healthcare services to over 25,000 offenders in 41 prisons across the country. Our model of care is our Wellbeing Approach – an integrated, comprehensive approach in recognition of the fact prisoners are a socially excluded group with healthcare needs which are complex and often associated with poor outcomes. It adopts the premise no single health/wellbeing factor can be taken in isolation of other motivational issues which might impact a person’s care. At HMP Wormwood Scrubs there is a large healthcare centre which has 20 inpatient mental health beds, 2 GP inpatient beds and a day care facility for patients with mental health problems, providing holistic therapies. In the Healthcare Day Unit, we provide Consultant led clinics, podiatry, dentistry and imaging. There are also a number of consulting rooms both across the main prison. On each of the wings there is a primary care facility incorporating a GP's clinic and area for dispensing of medication.

Company

At Care UK, we treat everyone as individuals so they can live fulfilling, rewarding and happy lives and we recognise that taking the first step on the journey into care can be daunting.

We are proud to be the most awarded care home provider for the last three years, and we have more outstanding rated homes than any other provider. Independence is not about where you live, but how you live, so if you’re considering care for yourself or a loved one,  discover why we’ve been trusted to care for over 40 years.
