We expect you entered the healthcare profession as you wanted to have the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives and lifestyles of a group of people who have often neglected their own mental health and well-being. Healthcare at HMP Nottingham gives you the opportunity to make this difference to a group of people who traditionally have physical and social morbidity but have also faced multiple barriers to accessing appropriate healthcare.

This is an exciting time to be joining the team at HMP Nottingham. You will play a pivotal and important role in the development and direction of the service as the team strives to deliver first-class care to the client group. It is an opportunity to try new smarter ways of working to achieve the best outcomes possible.

Working at HMP Nottingham, you will be part of a highly motivated and skilled team who provide integrated healthcare (physical healthcare, mental health, and substance misuse services). The physical health team consists of a Clinical Matron, Advanced Clinical Practitioner post, Senior Nurses, Nursing staff, Healthcare Assistants, Wellbeing Staff, and GP providers.

Advanced Clinical Practitioners working within Offender Health will have the clinical opportunities to manage patients with complex co-morbid needs alongside other health professionals. ACPs within Offender Health will form part of a peer network for clinical supervision, training opportunities, Care Group service improvement initiatives, and contribute to the quality care received by our patients. The introduction of ACPs within this specific field of work opens opportunities for a different service delivery for patients who require advanced assessment, clinical reasoning, and decision-making. Having the opportunity to work alongside skilled other professionals in an integrated team (RMNs, Substance Misuse Practitioners, Psychologists, Wellbeing Practitioners) is an exciting opportunity to improve the holistic and collaborative interventions delivered to a complex patient group.

#TeamNottsHC comprises over 11,000 dedicated colleagues who #MakeADifference every day. We deliver intellectual disability, mental health, community health, forensic, and offender healthcare services across Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, and South Yorkshire. Our care is provided from over 200 sites, spanning community locations, acute settings, and secure environments, including prisons.

We are one of the largest mental health and community Trusts in the East Midlands and one of Nottinghamshire's biggest employers. We also host national and regional services, such as the National High Secure Deaf Service and the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health.

We offer a variety of employee-led staff networks, including Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) groups, the Green Champions network, the Freedom to Speak Up network, the Health and Wellbeing Champions network, and the Menopause Champions network. These networks play a vital role in supporting our diverse workforce and promoting a culture of inclusivity.

The health and wellbeing of our colleagues is a top priority. We invest significantly in this through our in-house occupational health and staff counselling services, supported by a dedicated Health and Wellbeing team.

The Trust is committed to reducing its carbon emissions, with a specialised Energy and Environmental team working to ensure compliance with environmental legislation, enhance our environmental performance, and achieve our net-zero commitment.
