Job overview
The Health and Justice division of the specialist network is currently headquartered on the Prestwich hospital site where office support and PA support would be located. There are several limbs to the clinical service including a probation hostel, secure children’s homes, and a range of prisons throughout the northwest. Each of these services provides specific and tailored mental health input. Individual models of care have developed to meet the needs of that service in collaboration with other providers including primary care, psychology, and substance misuse.
We have a number of established clinicians providing input into the prisons and children’s homes, including consultants who provide up to a day a week, alongside advanced practitioners and specialty doctors who provide the majority of their job plans into the prisons. We have a prominent role in supporting placements for senior forensic trainees, general adult trainees, and core trainees.
Our prison sites are located across Greater Manchester, Cheshire, and Lancashire. We have good links with local acute hospitals and psychiatric units including secure units in the area.
Main duties of the job
The postholder will be expected to work within the region as part of a health and justice medical team. They will receive orientation and induction and will be supported in accessing training to confidently embark on their role in these settings.
The postholder will support the management of mental health clinics, undertaking mental health assessments of prisoners prioritized based on clinical need.
They will also contribute to other aspects of clinical pathway management within the prison, including zoning meetings, and will support the teams and managers in undertaking local investigations, management of complaints, and relevant quality improvement and service development activities.
The post-holder will have strong links with the Specialist Services Care Group based at the Prestwich Hospital site and will receive support and supervision from colleagues in the Health & Justice services.
The post-holder will be supported by a full team of prison healthcare staff, including mental health nurses, pharmacists, GPs, and other allied staff.
