Prison Lead Nurse

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Registered Nurse with strong leadership skills to manage our custodial healthcare services. This is a highly varied role that offers the opportunity to utilise a broad range of nursing and leadership skills, primarily in primary care, mental health, and occasional emergency situations.

In this role you will lead a small, motivated healthcare team, work with prison leadership to ensure smooth healthcare delivery, and drive continuous improvement. This is a great opportunity for a clinically experienced nurse ready to advance their leadership skills.

A strong background in custodial healthcare is desirable but not essential as we will consider applicants with either primary care, ED or mental health experience. If you are passionate about making a positive impact, we encourage you to apply.

A workplace that invests in you

✔ You’ll enjoy a supportive team environment, a manageable patient population, and a full induction with training.

✔ A generous annual leave entitlement starting at 27 days and 10 Public Holidays.

✔ A relocation package of up to £7,000 based on receipts is available for this role. Housing Assistance is also available where the Department will pay the difference between your current mortgage/rent bill, and that of your new accommodation on the Isle of Man, up to a maximum of £250 per month. To find out more about our relocation package click here.
