Mountain Healthcare is one of the UK’s leading providers of forensic custody healthcare. Working in partnership with the police, and wider criminal justice agencies, we deliver high quality care to some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. We are proud to be guided by our core values of Being Kind and Doing the Right Thing.
We are now recruiting Forensic Custody Healthcare Professionals (RGNs and Paramedics) to deliver specialist healthcare within police custody. This is a rare opportunity to step into a respected forensic role where no two shifts are the same, no custody experience is required as full accredited training is provided. Your clinical decisions will directly support detainee welfare, safeguarding, and the wider criminal justice process.
If you’re an experienced clinician with at least three years' experience in an acute setting who enjoys independent decision making, fast paced assessments, and meaningful work that genuinely makes a difference, this could be the ideal next step in your career.
Are you a Registered Nurse or Paramedic ready for a clinical role with real autonomy, variety and impact beyond a traditional ward or ambulance setting?
At Mountain Healthcare, our Forensic Custody Healthcare Professionals provide essential care to people detained in police custody, many of whom are vulnerable, unwell or in crisis. Working in partnership with the police, NHS and wider criminal justice agencies, you will use your clinical judgement to support detainee welfare, safeguarding and safe decision-making.
No forensic or custody experience is needed. We provide full accredited training and support to help you develop into this specialist role.
About the Role
As a Forensic Custody Healthcare Professional, you will work autonomously within police custody suites, assessing and caring for detainees with a wide range of physical health, mental health, substance misuse and vulnerability-related needs.
This is a specialist clinical role where no two shifts are the same. You will assess fitness for detention, interview, charge and release; respond to acute medical episodes; provide healthcare advice; support safeguarding decisions; and work closely with custody teams, police officers and partner agencies.
You will also be trained to carry out forensic and evidential duties, including collecting and preserving forensic samples, documenting injuries and maintaining accurate clinical and evidential records that meet legal and professional standards.
