Service Overview
The service will provide basic barbering / hairdressing (e.g. haircuts and trims) to male adult inpatient service users within a secure NHS setting.
Due to the nature of secure mental health services, patient attendance can vary, and sessions may be affected by clinical need.

• Session length to be agreed (e.g. half day)
• Sessional payment at a fixed rate, paid regardless of patient attendance

• Have relevant experience providing barbering or hairdressing services
• Be willing to work within a secure healthcare environment (The Humber Centre, Willerby Hill business park)
• Hold appropriate insurance cover
