Are you looking for a change in your nursing career?

Have you ever thought about working within a prison environment, helping to rehabilitate and support offenders to live decent and purposeful lives as a member of the community?

Are you looking for a challenging and rewarding role with career developments?

Then look no further…

Care UK is the Health in Justice Market leader, providing healthcare services to offenders 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.

These roles are available at our HMP YOI Brinsford site, which is both a Young Offenders Institute (18–21 years) and Adult Category C prison with a diverse range of nursing needs. Brinsford currently holds a maximum of 577 prisoners, with a combination of both sentenced and remand Young Adults and sentenced Adults. This brings a great opportunity to embrace change and embed culture. The role will be an experience like no other, requiring a diverse and mixed nursing skills and background. One minute you could be delivering a nurse led clinic and the next you are attending an emergency response.
To ensure the continued quality of care at HMP YOI Brinsford, we’re looking for Staff Nurses to come and join our team.

If you are new to nursing or offender health, we will create a suitable induction package to ensure you are equipped for this exciting role.

As a Staff Nurse within primary care, you can expect to be involved in everything from clinical triage to the evaluation and development of patient care and standards. You’ll carry out – and potentially develop – nurse-led clinics, reviewing patient histories, undertaking relevant examinations and tests, organising any necessary treatment and referring patients to other healthcare professionals when needed. Across everything you do, you’ll maintain accurate records and provide the kind of helpful, empathetic support that will make every patient feel at ease.
