As a senior nurse, you will provide high-quality primary care services and a range of specialist interventions for offenders. At HMP Elmely, we deliver a nurse-led integrated primary care service and operate a specialist practice-based clinical model of care.

Our senior nurses deliver primary care, emergency response, and first night in custody/new registration services.

You will maintain an effective case management service to ensure care and continuity of treatment throughout a patient's care pathway while detained in prison.

You will be responsible for ensuring all clinics and consultations are delivered in a clinically effective and timely manner, implementing strategies to promote and improve health and prevent disease within the prison setting.

As a senior staff member, you will coordinate the Healthcare Team's daily activities, support junior colleagues, and ensure systems are in place for clinical supervision of team members.

The post holder will exercise a high degree of personal and professional autonomy, capable of planning and making complex and critical judgments and decisions.

Your responsibilities include delivering high-quality clinical care within the Integrated Healthcare Service for the prison, covering acute & primary care, long-term conditions management, enhanced assessment and diagnostic services, and health promotion activities, aligned with NHS plans, public health indicators, and National Service Frameworks.

You will demonstrate and provide robust expert clinical skills, with a sound understanding of evidence-based nursing practice, ensuring a proactive, quality, and outcome-driven approach daily.

You will support the development of evidence-based practice in your field and promote research as appropriate.

You will participate in managerial and professional clinical supervision programs to ensure junior staff receive appropriate supervision, training, and annual appraisals, integrating these practices into team operations.

You will ensure the implementation of effective, patient-centered care planning tools, long-term condition registers, and consistent care delivery across all prisons within the service.

The post will involve working as part of skilled multidisciplinary teams, including all healthcare staff, strategic partners, and managing a single referral pathway.
