Job description

Join Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, an award-winning employer recognized for its excellent staff experience and wellbeing. We are seeking a Primary Care Lead to provide expert clinical leadership and support the Deputy Head of Healthcare in delivering a nurse-led integrated primary care service at our prison sites. This role involves working closely with colleagues at nearby Kent prisons and occasionally providing cross-cover.

Important Sponsorship Information: We are currently unable to offer a certificate of sponsorship for this post.

In this role, you'll be the driving force behind our Primary Care service, leading a team of healthcare professionals to deliver patient-centred care. You will develop, implement, and monitor quality improvement initiatives, clinical protocols, and guidelines to enhance patient safety and outcomes.

Your responsibilities will extend beyond HMP Cookham Wood, developing relationships with healthcare providers, prison staff, and external agencies to promote an integrated healthcare approach.

Collaborating with the Head of Healthcare, you will contribute to strategic planning, aligning services with national standards and local needs. You will identify areas for improvement and lead initiatives to transform service delivery.

This role offers an opportunity to make a lasting impact by shaping Primary Care services in a prison setting, especially in reducing health inequalities among marginalized populations.
