We have a unique opportunity to join our small but proactive healthcare team within the Isle of Man Prison as a Band 7 Prison Health Care Team Leader

In your role, you will lead the healthcare department utilising your skills and experience to shape and develop the service.

This is a senior role within the prison and you’ll be taking responsibility for service outcomes at a local level.

Our nurses are supported by a General Practitioner, Pharmacy Technician and Allied Health Professionals to address the holistic needs of patients and to facilitate service development and innovative practice. You will work closely with colleagues within the Isle of Man Prison Service in order to ensure safe, appropriate and timely medical care.
