Overview:
I treat more than just symptoms
Have you ever thought about working within a prison environment, helping to rehabilitate and support offenders to live decent and purposeful lives as a member of the community?
Are you looking for a challenging and rewarding role with career developments?
Then look no further… We're looking for an innovative Paramedic who thrives on a challenge to provide high quality emergency care and minor injury treatment to patients with both primary care and acute care needs in a prison setting - performing procedures such as suturing, IV access, hemorrhage control, wound care and cardiac & CVA intervention.
You'll be playing an active part in the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of the patients care, working as part of a team of primary care nurses within HMP Winson Green delivering care to patients both within the healthcare centre and on the Wings/Houseblocks.
Primecare are a Market leader, providing Out of Hours and Custodial healthcare services across the country. Working with our NHS partners, our model focuses on a “whole person perspective”, where we provide an integrated, comprehensive approach to the care and treatment of individuals with complex healthcare needs within the custodial setting.
The custodial environment is certainly different to work in the community, however, the patients in your care are no different to any other person generally speaking, and only in the respect that they can have more challenging behaviours and also require a different approach and understanding.

•    Training and development opportunities

You’ll manage the assessment of health needs, planning, delivery and evaluation of care for the prison population, including clinical risk assessment.

The main duties of the role are to primarily attend all emergencies within the prison system and treat and refer all patients where required.  This can be to other health care professionals to include, GP, ANP, Nurse Practitioner, substance misuse team, mental health team, dentist and physiotherapy to name but a few. Also, along with the other members of the healthcare team, provide a Minor Illness/Injury triage as directed by the senior nurse on duty.
•    The service will cover Monday – Sunday 07:30 – 19:00 core duty, this will be populated via RotaMaster
•    Attending all medical emergencies as and when needed and complete all associated paperwork
•    Seeing patients from nurse handover if required, again complete all paperwork (where medical emergencies permit)

•    Attending contract review meetings with Operations Manager and Regional Clinical and Governance Lead
•    Supporting nurses with any new prisoner reception in relation to complex case review
•    Liaison with duty General Practitioners
•    Support complex case reviews (where medical emergencies permit)

Experience:
With the ability to think on your feet and a flexible attitude, you'll be a qualified paramedic with current HCPC registration and ALS/ATLS/PALS qualification for Paramedics.
