Resettlement Nurse

We have an exciting opportunity for a Resettlement Nurse to join our Primary Care team at HMP Altcourse, a category B Prison located in Fazerkerley, Merseyside.

HMP Altcourse is a remand and receiving prison that houses up to 1,164 male inmates.

What you'll be doing

As a Resettlement Nurse, your responsibilities will vary. You will

• Use your expert clinical skills and demonstrate judgement in assessing and managing wide ranging and complex patient problems. You will provide care and planning for adult male prisoners from the point of reception until the day of release or transfer to another establishment.
• Manage the assessment of health needs, planning, delivery and evaluation of care, for the prison population, including clinical risk assessment. 
• Your role will consist of managing face to face clinics with patients and being the experienced clinician for patients who may need a little more support for their release/ transfer.
• Work closely with GP colleagues for those cases that need further nursing input.
• Request TTO’s for those patients leaving the establishment and ensure they have a discharge letter and/or letters for any future hospital appointments they may have
