HMP Humber is a Cat C resettlement prison holding male adults. We provide primary care, GP surgery provision alongside access to mental health and substance misuse services.

If you are self-motivated and able to work autonomously as well as showing plenty of initiative when it comes to handling a wide range of situations, then this could be the right role for you!

This is a full-time role, working 37.5 hours per week.

Responsibilities

• To contribute to the operational management of the DART (Drug Alcohol Recovery Team) Nursing Service, ensuring all administrative and clinical systems are in place to deliver effective, high quality, evidence based treatment and recovery interventions for service users.
