We have an exciting opportunity to join the new mental health team at HMP Millsike, a brand-new all-electric Category C men's prison in Full Sutton near York. Prison settings are challenging but highly rewarding, offering the chance to develop strong clinical skills in a fast-moving environment.
This role is ideal for registered professionals with mental health experience who want to broaden their psychiatric skills while delivering urgent and planned community-based care to the prison population. HMP Millsike will house up to 1,500 people, supporting them to gain skills for employment on release as part of the government's strategy to reduce reoffending. TEWV has been awarded the contract to deliver mental health services from April 2025.
This role may be eligible for sponsorship under the UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) Skilled Worker route.

A person-centred approach, strong prioritisation skills and flexibility are essential. We are seeking skilled professionals who can thrive in a busy setting, working within a well-resourced multidisciplinary team and in partnership with internal and external providers.
Alongside the competency framework, we offer a full induction and workforce development plan, with extensive personal, professional and academic training opportunities to support your growth and evidence-based practice.
Due to the nature of this role, the successful candidate must pass Police Vetting before employment. This includes checks on criminal history (spent and unspent), financial standing and social media.

Are you interested in supporting men with complex mental health needs within a prison setting? Would you like to work in York? Would you like to join TEW Health and Justice Services?
We are seeking an experienced Band 5 Occupational Therapist (minimum 18 months post-qualification experience at the point of application) or an existing Band 6 Occupational Therapist to join our expanding service.
Due to the successful growth of occupational therapy within our Prison Integrated Mental Health Teams, we are recruiting a full-time Band 6 Senior Occupational Therapist to work across HMP Full Sutton and HMP Millsike, two neighbouring prisons located on the same site near York. You will work alongside our existing Band 7 Clinical Specialist Occupational Therapist as part of a developing and innovative multidisciplinary team.

In addition, you will use client-centred approaches to co-produce negotiated occupational goals and evaluate these in line with clinical outcome measures.
You will offer clinical advice and support relating to occupational needs with multi-disciplinary professionals and multi-agency partners, contribute to multi-disciplinary team working in line with the service operational policy and Health and Justice Clinical Model and use relevant electronic record systems in the prison setting including Systm One and NOMIS (as required).
The successful postholder will abide by all Trust policies and procedures, be able to respond flexibly and creatively to challenges that arise within the context of a prison setting, contribute to own clinical supervision provided by an experienced Occupational Therapist, line management from the Team Manager, and professional leadership from the OT Lead for Health and Justice Services.
