**What we’ll look for in you**:
HMP Lancaster Farms is a category C men's prison, located in Lancaster, Lancashire.

We are the Health in Justice Market leader, providing healthcare services to offenders across the country. Our model of care is our Wellbeing Approach - an integrated, comprehensive approach in recognition of the fact prisoners are a socially-excluded group with healthcare needs which are complex and often associated with poor outcomes. It adopts the premise no single health/wellbeing factor can be taken in isolation of other motivational issues which might impact a person’s care.

- we treat patients and each other as we would like to be treated,
- we act with integrity
