Ready for a career that's truly different?

Mountain Healthcare's one of the UK's leading providers of forensic healthcare, delivering specialist care within police custody and the wider criminal justice system. Guided by our values of Being Kind and Doing the Right Thing, we support some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.

We are seeking Registered Nurses and Paramedics to join us as Forensic Custody Healthcare Professionals.

This is an opportunity to step beyond traditional healthcare settings into a rewarding role offering autonomy, variety & professional challenge. Working alongside police and criminal justice partners, you'll assess, treat & support detainees, using your clinical expertise to safeguard welfare and influence important decisions.

No two shifts are the same. You could be managing acute healthcare needs one moment and supporting a vulnerable person in crisis the next. Your clinical judgement, compassion and professionalism will make a real difference every day.

No forensic or custody experience is required.

We provide accredited training, support & a structured development programme to help you succeed in this specialist field.

Your clinical judgement will support safe decision-making and positive outcomes for vulnerable individuals.
