Overview

Deputy Heads of Healthcare are essential to support the Heads of Healthcare in the management and leadership of complex prison sites, including 24/7 high quality clinical and operational healthcare within HMP with several services. The postholder is responsible for the effective day-to-day operational management of all clinical services across the prison under delegated authority from the Head of Healthcare and may lead the development of a particularly complex delivery area. The postholder will deputise for the Head of Healthcare in their absence and support them across the range of their duties by attending and leading internal and external stakeholder meetings as required.
