Prison & secure healthcare recruitment

Specialist environments.
Considered recruitment.

Prison & secure healthcare recruitment

The conversation starts here

A role is more
than a title.

CMB welcomes prison healthcare nursing and medical recruitment enquiries. We invite professionals with relevant experience to discuss their background and interests, and providers to outline the specific requirements of their service.

An expression of interest does not establish that a candidate has permission to enter an establishment or is suitable for its clinical duties. Required checks, any establishment-specific clearance, induction and access arrangements need to be confirmed for the proposed assignment. CMB does not claim a prison contract or security approval through this page.

Details that make the difference

Better information.
Better conversations.

For professionals

Bring your experience.

Relevant clinical experience
Describe your professional registration, recent practice and experience of secure or similarly complex environments. Clarify where additional induction or supervision would be needed.
Clearance and access
Tell the team about relevant previous clearance when asked, but do not assume it applies to a new establishment. Confirm the process and required evidence before travelling.
Practical preparation
Ask about arrival instructions, identity documents, permitted items and your named contact. Follow the establishment’s instructions rather than relying on general advice.

Introduce yourself

For care providers

Define your requirement.

A specific clinical brief
State the nursing or medical discipline, responsibilities, service hours and level of experience required.
Local requirements
Explain the establishment’s vetting, access and induction process, including who will confirm that each stage is complete.
Safe communication
Agree a named clinical contact, handover arrangements and the route for reporting staffing or access issues without sharing sensitive establishment information publicly.

Start a staffing enquiry

From first conversation to next steps

Clear at every stage.

Start with the brief

Share the role, setting, experience and working pattern you want to discuss.

Consider the details

Review suitability, relevant checks, training and any local requirements.

Agree the assignment

Confirm the location, responsibilities, hours and terms before work starts.

Keep the record clear

Use the agreed route for completed hours, approvals and follow-up questions.

Staffing and candidate enquiries are considered individually. A registration or request does not confirm a vacancy, an available worker or a booked shift. Portal workflows require an approved, active account.

Your questions

Good to know.

Does previous prison clearance transfer automatically?

Do not assume it does. The provider and establishment must confirm the requirements for the particular assignment and whether any previous evidence can be used.

Are prison healthcare shifts available now?

The public page invites expressions of interest. Specific opportunities depend on a confirmed provider requirement, candidate suitability, clearance and availability.

Can doctors register an interest too?

Yes. Choose Doctor on the application form and Prison & secure healthcare as your preferred sector, then outline your relevant specialty and experience.
