Bank Registered Nurse - HMP

Are you ready to unlock your potential within a challenging, creative and fast paced work environment? Do you want to escape your current job role and work with people to build positive and productive lives, whatever their past? Now is the time to break into offender healthcare and develop your career.

Oxleas NHS Trust were awarded the South West prison contract in 2022 and currently have a portfolio of 19 prisons across the South of England. We are currently looking to expand our pool of bank workers by recruiting Registered Nurses to work within the Prison Service on a flexible basis.

Our healthcare team has a real impact on promoting health and well‑being to those in prison and we pride ourselves on using skills and strategies that instil hope for patients’ future resettlement back into the community. We directly deliver Mental Health, Physical Health, Pharmacy and Clinical Substance Misuse in an integrated healthcare delivery model to provide effective and responsive care to improve wellbeing and support better outcomes in the future.

In order to work as a bank‑only worker you will need to have completed preceptorship training or obtained 6 months post‑qualification experience.

As a Registered Nurse, you will be required to exercise a high degree of personal and professional autonomy and have the ability to plan and reach complex and critical judgments. You will be delivering high quality clinical care within the Integrated Healthcare Service for the prison, which will include acute & primary care, long‑term conditions management, enhanced assessment and diagnostic intervention services and health promotion activities.

In order to do the above, you will be required to demonstrate and provide robust expert clinical skills with a sound understanding of evidence‑based nursing practice to provide a pro‑active approach to ensure quality & outcome‑driven practice on a day‑to‑day basis.
