We are seeking a Primary Care Lead to provide expert clinical leadership and support the Head of Healthcare in delivering a nurse-led integrated primary care service at our prison sites.
This role involves working closely with colleagues at nearby Kent prisons and occasionally providing cross-cover at HMP Cookham Wood specifically.
If you are passionate about making a difference and meet the qualifications, we would love to hear from you.
Important Sponsorship Information for this post: We are currently unable to offer a certificate of sponsorship for this post.
In this role, you'll be the driving force behind our Primary Care service, steering a team of diverse and talented healthcare professionals to deliver care that is not only efficient but deeply centred on the patient. But that's just the beginning, you will be the architect of new standards in healthcare within our establishment. From developing to implementing and monitoring unique quality improvement initiatives, clinical protocols, and guidelines, your work will directly enhance patient safety and outcomes.
Your role will extend beyond the walls of HMP Rochester. You will develop and nurture vital relationships with other healthcare providers, prison staff, and external agencies, promoting an integrated approach to healthcare.
Collaborating with the Head of Healthcare, you will have a significant role in strategically planning our healthcare services, aligning with national standards and local needs. Your visionary approach will identify areas for improvement and innovation, allowing you to lead on initiatives that transform service delivery.
The role is more than a job; it's a chance to make a lasting impact, leading and shaping Primary Care services in a prison setting. If your passion lies in bridging health disparities and reducing health inequalities for a marginalised and often overlooked population, we invite you to bring your skills, vision, and enthusiasm to this immensely rewarding role at HMP Rochester.
