Summary
Healthcare Assistant HMP Woodhill.
Vaccination: The successful applicant will be an NHS employee and may therefore have contact with vulnerable service users. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been necessary to take significant steps to protect the health and safety of our staff, service users and those attending our sites. In order to comply with our duty of care, we require our staff to have the COVID vaccine and we will ask for proof of vaccination during the recruitment process. Vaccination will be a condition of employment unless an exemption applies
The post holder would be expected to participate in the administration of medication, responding to emergencies and assisting in the delivery of primary care services that are equitable to that in the community. An inpatient facility accommodates up to 11 prisoners with a range of mental and physical health needs and the healthcare assistants provide a valued role in this area.
Previous experience of working in a secure setting would be an advantage but a full induction and training programme is provided.
The successful applicant may have contact with patients or service users. As an NHS Trust we strongly encourage and support vaccination as this remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients and service users when working on our healthcare settings.
CNWL (Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust) has almost 7,000 staff providing integrated healthcare to a third of London's population, Milton Keynes and areas beyond. We involve service users, carers, the public, staff and partner organisations in the way that we are run.
Our catchment area spans diverse communities, with over 100 first languages spoken. It contains areas of great affluence as well as areas of much deprivation. We are committed to providing services that meet the needs of the people who use them, and we actively encourage involvement from local people who can help make a difference. We’re proud of our diversity and we continue to undertake new initiatives to advance equality for LGBT+, BME and people with disabilities to promote good relations and understanding between our staff.
We are recognised locally, nationally and internationally for providing high quality, innovative healthcare. We aim to employ only the best people, and our experts are frequently called upon to contribute to national health strategy and policy, and many models of our care have been adapted for use in other countries.
We offer a generous relocation package (subject to eligibility assessment) and flexible working options, including bank assignments for most roles. See attached Staff Reward and Wellbeing Handbook detailing our benefits, discounts and wellbeing intiatives for staff.
Become part of our team. We care for you as much as you care for others.
HMP Woodhill is a high secure prison and CNWL are the healthcare providers within HMP Woodhill providing Primary Care, Mental Health and Addictions services to approximately 500 adult male prisoners.
We are looking for enthusiastic and experienced healthcare assistants to join our multi-disciplinary team delivering high quality care to the prison population in this challenging environment.
