Locations: Surrey, Thames Valley & Cumbria Hours: Full-time (42 hrs/week), part-time and bank/ad-hoc options available Contract: Permanent Salary: £45,111.50 per annum (FTE) / £19.60 per hour (PAYE equivalent), plus benefits below
The role
An exciting opportunity for a Registered Nurse (RGN) or Paramedic to move into forensic healthcare, delivering specialist clinical care to people held in police custody. You'll be the healthcare professional on site, assessing and treating detainees, safeguarding the vulnerable, and supporting the wider criminal justice process.

- Responding to medical emergencies within the custody environment
- Supporting detainees with mental health needs, substance misuse and other vulnerabilities
- Undertaking forensic sampling and producing accurate evidential documentation
- Completing road traffic act (RTA) blood procedures
- Writing professional statements and, where required, attending court
What we're looking for
- Current NMC registration (RGN) or HCPC registration (Paramedic)
- At least 3 years' post-qualification experience in an acute setting (e.g. ambulance, A&E, prison, custody or urgent care)
- Full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
- Eligibility for an enhanced DBS check and police vetting
- Full right to work in the UK, with 3 years' continuous UK residency
- Willingness to complete accredited forensic training within your first year
What's on offer
- £45,111.50 per annum (FTE) / £19.60 per hour (PAYE equivalent)
- NMC / HCPC registration fees paid
- Company pension
- Enhanced overtime rates
- Full accredited forensic training – no custody experience needed
- Flexible working: full-time, part-time and bank hours available
