Primary Care Nurse / Paramedic, Band 6.

Yarls Wood Immigration Removal Centre

This post is a rare and exciting opportunity to work somewhere completely different - an immigration removal centre

This post involves working within a multi-disciplinary team providing primary care, but with a difference.

We are seeking a qualified experienced nurse or paramedic to work within an integrated healthcare model. The successful candidate will be an excellent team player who works closely with residents, the health care multidisciplinary team and the immigration service to ensure comprehensive care is provided to residents.

The successful candidate will undertake various duties within the immigration removal centre setting, including acting as a responder to emergencies, screening residents, triage and working in partnership with other agencies to provide comprehensive care.

Previous experience of working in an immigration removal centre is especially desirable, but not essential. You will benefit from an extensive supernumerary period, access to a full range of training and be encouraged to develop your skills within this role.

Main duties of the job

Autonomously assess and manage resident's care in a secured healthcare environment.

Appropriately use the NEWS 2 assessment tool

Have excellent written and oral communication skills, ensuring contemporaneous healthcare records are maintained.

Administer medications in accordance with NHFT and locally agreed policies and guidance

Work as part of a multidisciplinary team to provide safe, clinically effective and cost-efficient nursing care to residents.

Participate in multidisciplinary team meetings.

Provide care advice to members of the clinical team on the management of complex medical issues.

Utilise a wide range of communication skills, treating residents with respect and empathy at all times.

Actively participate in and support clinical audit and clinical governance systems at a local level, including the collection of data.

Undertake risk assessments and take appropriate professional action when the nature of the behaviour, symptoms or illness is likely to lead to self-harm or injury to others.

Ensure nursing practice is fully reflected in the use of the Trust electronic record system.

Be able to work in a fast paced, multi-level environment
