As part of this role, you'll provide treatment as required, including prescribing medication and carry out comprehensive assessments of patients looked after. You'll provide advice/support in relation to crisis situations, conditions, and treatment plans, based on medical and treatment history.

About You

You will be a registered Nurse and qualifications in Non Medical Prescribing. You will have a proven record of providing supervision, teaching and mentoring and have an understanding of concerns when prescribing in a prison environment. You will also have experience dealing with substance misuse.


How will we support you?

• Bespoke induction
