Prison Nurse jobs: frequently asked questions
(Updated Dec 2024)
Welcome to our Prison Nurse jobs page, featuring all the latest roles throughout the UK, as well as frequently asked questions below.
What is a Prison Nurse?
A Prison Nurse is a qualified Nurse that carries out nurse-led services within a prison.
The duties are similar to those carried out by GP Nurses, although Prison Nurses tend to offer a lot of support with mental health and substance misuse problems.
It’s a unique role within the profession, which tends to teach specific skills and knowledge.
Prison Nurse jobs are sometimes provided directly through the NHS, but they can also be offered by private healthcare organisations on behalf of the NHS.
What are the daily responsibilities of a Prison Nurse?
As a Prison Nurse your regular tasks will normally include:
• End of life and palliative care
• Minor injury support
• Mental health and substance misuse support
• Emergency care
• Clinics
• Safeguarding
Shift patterns vary from one role to another but typically offer a good degree of flexibility.
How do you become a Prison Nurse?
To become a Prison Nurse you need to be a fully qualified Nurse and registered with the NMC.
This is possible by taking a 3-year undergraduate nursing degree, currently available at universities and institutions throughout the UK. Part-time study is also available, as are apprenticeships.
There are no specific qualifications required beyond this to work as a Prison Nurse. You will receive lots of training to equip you to hit the ground running in this unique role.
However, you will need to demonstrate the right kinds of personal skills to be suited to this position, and a real passion for its distinct challenges.
How much do Prison Nurses earn?
Prison Nurse salaries often start at Band 5 – the same NHS pay banding as any entry level Nurse.
Currently, a starting salary at Band 5 pays nearly £30,000 a year. This salary rises with every year of experience.
However, Prison Nurse vacancies looking for someone with experience may pay a Band 6 salary, or at a very senior level, a band 7 salary.
This would mean aa much higher annual salary.
To work out exactly what you could earn and how experience can influence it, check out our handy NHS pay calculator.
