As a qualified Nurse or Paramedic, you can have a career within the criminal justice system helping some of the most vulnerable people in society who we believe should have the right to healthcare to ensure their health and wellbeing is at the centre of our care approach. We are looking for people who want to deliver gold standard care and be a proud part of a team who has this vision with a real passion for developing clinical, forensic, and wider skills.
No previous forensic experience required as full training will be given.
The role requires the flexibility to work not only in your base Custody suite but across an assigned region in the Police Custody Suites and Force area.
What does the role involve?
The custody suites can be an energetic place to work, with no two shifts the same. Whilst detained, we provide individuals with all their physical, mental healthcare and wellbeing needs, as well as gather any forensic samples needed by the police to aid their investigations. Making careful records on our computerised systems, you'll be assessing whether people are fit to be detained or released, administering medications when needed, and working with local Liaison and Diversion teams to address root cause issues that can prevent future crime.
Mitie Care & Custody is the market-leader in outsourced Police services in the UK. Our philosophy is all about delivering the Exceptional Every Day to the people in our care whilst providing you great training, development, and career opportunities.
What about opportunities for growth?
We will support you every step of the way, developing your skills to professionally deliver this rewarding, sometimes challenging role with integrity and respect. You will receive a full induction and training given to start the role. Ongoing professional development, as well as a wealth of other online learning courses and of course many opportunities to progress to Senior Healthcare Professional and beyond.
