Healthcare Support Workers are responsible for assisting in the delivery of nursing services to the prison population. They will deliver care within the boundaries of their role, focusing on supporting patients to be healthy; monitoring of long-term conditions, health promotion, and screening, and responding to emergencies. They will work collaboratively with the Healthcare Team to meet the needs of patients, supporting the delivery of Local and national Policies and Procedures.
By joining our Prisons Health Care Team, you will not only look after the healthcare needs of our patients residing in secure environments, but you will also have the opportunity to have a real impact on promoting health and well-being. Our healthcare services work to a 7-day week working model, to ensure our patient's healthcare is managed and maintained to the highest of standards at all times.
Healthcare Support Workers will work closely with prisoners who require social care needs whilst in prison. They will follow social care plans as assessed by the Local Authority or as identified by emergency care plans in the event that a new prisoner arrives without an established social care plan.
The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust, we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues, and of course, patients and service users when working in our healthcare settings.
We are passionate about delivering first-class patient-centered, safe, and effective care, whether it is in a hospital setting, in a community clinic, or in the patient's own home. Patients are at the heart of everything we do.
Providing top-quality care depends on our ability to employ the best people. We are always looking to recruit outstanding people who will go the extra mile to support our patients, colleagues, teams, and the Trust. With every new employee, we are hoping to find our future leaders, and we will support our staff by providing opportunities to develop your career.
With a diverse culture and equally diverse range of opportunities across mental health, community services, addictions, eating disorders, learning disabilities, and more, whatever stage of your career you are at, there is always a place for you at CNWL.
