You will use your skills and knowledge to deliver nurse-led clinics to your patient group while being supported by a multi-disciplinary team.
You will contribute to our nursing strategy and vision to:
* Provide: Outstanding evidence-based care to our patients, seeking out, listening to, and acting on their feedback, so that care is personalized and informed by what matters to them.
* Deliver: Non-judgmental care that makes a real difference, as defined throughout our bespoke Health in Justice competency framework.
* Inspire: Excellence by forging strong links with our partners and stakeholders and providing a service that people can trust, feel safe within, and feel proud of.
* Promote: Best practice, clinical supervision, evidence-based care, and continuous quality improvement, embedding a culture of shared learning.

Person Specification

Having an understanding of the complexities of multi-disciplinary and multi-agency working, coupled with a non-judgmental and compassionate approach will enable you to succeed in this role, as well as a proactive approach to problem-solving.
Although not essential, ideal applicants would have experience in a hospital, community, or prison environment.
