Job Introduction

As a Healthcare Assistant based at HMP Chelmsford your days will be rewarding and varied, your responsibilities will include; providing high quality patient care under the guidance of qualified nurses and therapists, setting up and preparing for clinics and supporting patients attending clinics.

As part of our commitment to your lifelong learning we offer the care certificate to all our unregistered health care professionals. This is the start of your education and training with us and forms part of a robust induction programme giving you the fundamental evidence-based training to support you in your role with us.

The Care Certificate is an agreed set of standards that define the knowledge, skills and behaviours we expect of specific job roles in health and social care services.

You will also have the opportunity to then build and develop your skills and knowledge through the Trainee Nursing Associate programme and qualify as an NMC registered Nursing Associate. Please note that, in any case, the healthcare staff will not be expected to be responsible for or involved with prisoners' restraints.

The role will include 12.5 hour shift work on a rotary pattern with flexible work days. Including night work, every other weekend with night and weekend enhancements greatly topping up the stated salary.

Shifts are between the hours of 7am and 7pm. If you were to work full time hours, you would typically work 3 days one week and 4 the other.

About our prisons service:

We operate round-the-clock, nurse-led healthcare including prisoner screening on arrival and all primary care such as minor surgery, in-patient units, and prescribing. We also coordinate a wide range of other service providers, such as GP practices, to provide seamless care.

The safety of our team and the people we look after, particularly the most vulnerable, is our priority and we work closely with prison management. We also maximise the amount of 'wing-based' care given, which not only helps us to reduce risk posed by moving prisoners, but also helps improve waiting times and reduce the number of missed appointments.

Our motivated teams are driven by our belief that if you are a prisoner, you should receive same level of healthcare that you would in the community. We know that improving prisoners' short and long-term health reduces their likelihood of reoffending.
