Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust is the main provider of prison healthcare in a variety of different prisons in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, London Borough of Wandsworth and across the county of Kent, Including high security, remand, foreign nationals and women.

If you’re looking for a rewarding, challenging and stimulating environment, where every day is different, we want to hear from you.
