South West Prisons Transfer Coordinator
Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 1 month(s) ago
Reference: 277-8305634-BRIS
Job summary
We are seeking an experienced and motivated Prisons Transfer Coordinator to join our Forensic and Offender Healthcare Directorate. This Band 7 role is responsible for coordinating safe, effective and timely mental health transfers for people in prison who require admission to external NHS or independent inpatient services. The post will be based at HMP Bristol, with regular support and travel required to HMP Exeter. These are the two remand prisons in the South West with the highest volume of mental health transfers and will form the main focus of the role. The postholder will also be expected to travel to and support other prisons across the South West with mental health transfers on a case-by-case basis, although transfer numbers at these establishments are significantly lower. You will work closely with prison healthcare teams, inpatient providers, commissioners, the Ministry of Justice and other partner agencies to support transfers within national timescales and ensure continuity of care throughout each person's pathway.
Main duties of the job
The postholder will coordinate referrals, assessments, admissions and remissions for people requiring transfer under Part 3 of the Mental Health Act 1983. Acting as the key link between prison clinical teams and external providers, you will track each referral, identify and escalate delays, support resolution of disputed transfers and help ensure admissions are completed within the national 14-day transfer target. You will maintain accurate records and transfer data, provide specialist clinical advice, attend relevant reviews and forums, and support safe care planning when patients return to prison. Working primarily across HMP Bristol and HMP Exeter, you will build effective relationships with healthcare teams, secure services, commissioners, the Ministry of Justice and other statutory and independent partners. The role also involves supporting service development, producing reports and activity information, sharing best practice, contributing to staff development and providing professional leadership within a challenging custodial environment.
