Job description

Job responsibilities

This is an opportunity to step beyond traditional healthcare settings into a rewarding role offering autonomy, variety & professional challenge. Working alongside police and criminal justice partners, you'll assess, treat & support detainees, using your clinical expertise to safeguard welfare and influence important decisions. No two shifts are the same. You could be managing acute healthcare needs one moment and supporting a vulnerable person in crisis the next.

Your clinical judgement, compassion and professionalism will make a real difference every day. No forensic or custody experience is required. We provide accredited training, support & a structured development programme to help you succeed in this specialist field.

Are you a Registered Nurse or Paramedic with at least 3 years' post-registration experience in an acute or urgent care setting and are looking for a role with purpose, independence and impact? We would love to hear from you. Join Mountain Healthcare and build a career where your skills and decisions truly matter.

Job Opportunity

As a Forensic Custody Healthcare Professional, you will deliver high-quality healthcare to people detained in police custody, many of whom have complex physical health, mental health, substance misuse or safeguarding needs. Working autonomously in a fast-paced environment, you will assess, treat and support detainees while ensuring their safety and well-being. This unique role combines clinical practice, safeguarding and forensic healthcare. No two shifts are the same. You will assess fitness for detention, interview, charge and release, manage acute presentations, respond to emergencies and provide advice to custody teams and partner agencies. Your clinical judgement will support safe decision-making and positive outcomes for vulnerable individuals. You will also undertake specialist forensic duties, including injury assessment, evidential sample collection, and maintaining accurate clinical and legal records. Working with police, NHS and partner agencies, you will support detainee care in custody and on release.
