The purpose of the role is to extend on the current facility of testing women in prison for HCV who are subsequently supported to access treatment if required, an initiative developed by the Hepatitis C Trust.

The postholder will lead the consent process and follow the agreed pathways to provide an expert advisory confidential service to initiate screening and offer testing to their child.
The postholder will network, visit, and collaborate with a range of stakeholders nationally.
The postholder will help develop and deliver the pilot project collaboratively with the HCV pMDT ODN Project Manager from set up, implementation and monitoring, to ensure compliance with and adherence to the pilot project plan and identify, evaluate, and rectify problems until project close out.
