Newton Abbot, United Kingdom Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust Full time

This is a unique opportunity to be part of Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and to work at one of the largest prisons in the UK. You will assist us to provide excellent mental health services for our population.

Offenders are a challenging population group to work with and they often have complex healthcare needs. Offenders often have chaotic lives in the community and a history of poor engagement with community healthcare services. With high rates of substance misuse and mental health problems, this is a real chance to make a difference.

**Full Time**: 37.50 hours per week

Do you have an interest in working within a complex, challenging and rewarding environment? Are you looking for a new challenge and interested in a developing your skills and gaining experience of a secure healthcare setting? If so we would love to hear from you

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a band 4 STaR (Support Time Recovery) worker working within the Mental Health team at HMP Channings Wood

The post holder will provide support and clinical input to the HMP Channings Wood team. HMP Channings Wood mental health team provides counselling and psychology services, providing group and individual support and psychotherapeutic groups to prisoners.

With excellent communication skills and a confident, competent presentation you will be responsible for ensuring the provision of excellent mental health services to offenders in the prison.

Oxleas offers a wide range of NHS healthcare services to people in community and secure environment settings. Our services include community health care such as district nursing and speech and language therapy, care for people with learning disabilities and mental health care such as psychiatry, nursing and therapies. Our multidisciplinary teams look after people of all ages and we work in close partnership with other parts of the NHS, local councils and the voluntary sector and through our new provider collaboratives. Our 4,300 members of staff work in many different settings including hospitals, clinics, prisons, secure hospitals, children’s centres, schools and people’s homes.

We have over 3 sites in Devon. We operate in HMP Channings Wood, HMP Exeter and HMP Dartmoor. We are the largest NHS provider of prison health services providing healthcare to prisons within Devon, Dorset, Bristol, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, Kent and South London. We are proud of the care we provide and our people.
Our purpose is to improve lives by providing the best possible care to our patients and their families. This is strengthened by our new values:

- We’re Kind
- We’re Fair
- We Listen
- We Care

**We are also looking for**:
- Experience of working within secure & prison settings (desirable)
- Working knowledge of current issues/agendas facing prison/offender healthcare
- Evidence of post registration professional development where applicable (desirable)
- A keen interest in peer worker/service-user involvement schemes

Healthcare services, inclusive of mental health services, within prisons can be busy and pressured environments. The successful post holders should therefore have developed an ability to work under pressured conditions and be able to support others to do the same.

The successful post holder will be required to undergo and pass all prison security requirements as well as all Oxleas employment requirements.
