We have an exciting opportunity for a General Practitioner to join our healthcare team at HMP Five Wells, a Category C Prison located in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.

HMP Five Wells is a state‑of‑the‑art prison offering a modern clinical environment and facilities. You will work closely with a large multi‑disciplinary team and alongside another General Practitioner.
