Forensic Custody Healthcare Professional - Bank

Better places, thriving communities.

Are you a Nurse or Paramedic looking for a new direction but not ready to take the leap from your current role? Look at our bank opportunities.

You will be working alongside the Police in custody suites caring for detainees. You can have a career within the criminal justice system helping some of the most vulnerable people in society.

We require Registered (Adult) Nurses / RGNs, or Paramedics with 2 years' post qualification experience, who want to deliver gold standard care and be a proud part of a team with vision and passion for developing clinical, forensic and wider skills.

You must be able to work flexibly not only in your base Custody suite but across an assigned region in the Police Custody Suites and Force area.

Below is based on shifts per month.

• £20.50 per hour – 1-2 shifts
• £22.50 per hour – 3-5 shifts
• £24.50 per hour – 6+ shifts

• HCPC/NMC (required)
• Driving Licence (required)
• Must be a UK resident for 3 years + no gaps out of country more than 3 months
• All candidates will be subject to Police Vetting

In the custody suites you will work in a dynamic environment where no two shifts are the same. While detainees are in care, you will provide all their physical, mental healthcare and wellbeing needs, gather forensic samples needed by the police, make careful records on our computerised systems, assess whether people are fit to be detained or released, administer medications when needed, and work with local Liaison and Diversion teams to address root cause issues that can prevent future crime.

No previous forensic experience required – we will provide all your training.

We will support you every step of the way, developing your skills to professionally deliver this rewarding, sometimes challenging role with integrity and respect.

• Opportunities to progress into a full‑time role and further opportunities.

Our market‑leading flexible benefits scheme provides you with benefits that suit your lifestyle. You will have a virtual GP on hand for you and members of your household, access to financial wellbeing assistance through our Salary Finance scheme, access to a flexible benefits platform Choices, high‑street discounts through our MiDeals platform, a cycle‑to‑work scheme, life cover, a save‑as‑you‑earn scheme, and a Mitie Matching Share Plan.

We award employees with Mitie Stars as recognition, with cash prizes each month and the chance to win up to £10,000.

We are committed to ensuring our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible to all. If you have a disability or long‑term condition and need reasonable adjustments, contact Sara Sanders at

Together our diversity makes us stronger.
