About You

At Gatwick IRC we deliver a 24/7 service although working hours do vary to provide overall support.

Practice Plus Group are Health in Justice Market leader, providing healthcare services to offenders across the country.

At Practice Plus Group we actively promote diversity and equal opportunities and we are committed to this in both the running of our prison healthcare service and how we recruit our staff. We actively encourage applications from everyone with the essential requirements of the job, regardless of any protected characteristics.
