The Role

Express new ideas, take initiative and save lives. Others talk about being brave, at IC24, we’re made that way.

From providing high quality integrated urgent care for over six million people, to thinking of innovative solutions for our patients – every role at IC24 is made to be brave.

Can you care without judgement? Are you a qualified NVQ Level 2 or 3 Healthcare Assistant looking for an opportunity to gain some unique experience with vast development opportunities? Do you want to work in a challenging yet extremely rewarding environment where no two days at the same?

IC24 have a fantastic opportunity for a Healthcare Assistant to facilitate nurse led clinics, administer medicines, immunisations and vaccinations and phlebotomy to patients within a prison cluster on the Isle of Sheppey. The cluster consists of 3 prisons that cater for un-sentenced, sentenced prisoners and prisoners who are working out in the community, carrying out reparative work or engaging in paid employment towards the end of their sentence. Therefore the role requires high levels of energy and motivation as well as the ability to prioritise. There is also a real opportunity to support patients over a period of time and build relationships. Full onsite support is given to all colleagues.

IC24 have recently successfully been re-awarded this contract since providing Primary and Urgent care to the HMP Prison Sheppey Cluster in 2012. We are looking for colleagues to help us continue this growth. If you feel you are up to the challenge please apply today, or if you would like the opportunity to have a tour of the workplace you can email careers@ic24.nhs.uk for further information.

You will be asked to work from HMP Standford Hill, HMP Elmley and HMP Swaleside all situated within a 1 mile radius of each other.
