Public Health - Seattle & King County's Jail Health Services Division is seeking a dedicated and patient-oriented Jail Health Physician to join our Physician team working within our Adult Correctional Facilities. Our Jail Health Physicians provide direct care to patients detained in the King County adult jail facilities by assessing and managing a wide range of adult medical and gynecologic/pregnancy-related health conditions for a dynamic patient population. You will be a part of Public Health - Seattle & King County's community safety net by engaging with people whose health is frequently unstable at intake and by offering access to treatment for conditions like syphilis, HIV and other infectious diseases, opioid use disorder, or other chronic medical conditions. Many of the people we serve experience homelessness, stigma, mental illness, and/or racial inequity and as a result they often present to jail without continuity of care in the community. Medical providers in Jail Health Services therefore have a unique opportunity to help address community-level problems by offering compassionate, quality care to people who reside in secure detention. This recruitment will be open until the position is filled, with first consideration given to those applicants who apply before 11:59pm PST on February 16th, 2026. This posting will create a list of qualified candidates that may be considered for selection of additional vacancies of the same position type over the next 6 months. Background Jail Health Services (JHS) provides needed health and social services to the incarcerated population located in the King County jails. The primary services we provide include medical, dental, mental health, social and release planning services, treatment of substance use disorders, and pharmaceutical services. We care about the patients we serve and their health outcomes. The purpose of JHS is to assure that high-quality health and human services are available to the incarcerated population in the King County adult correctional facilities: the King County Correctional Facility (KCCF) in Seattle and the Maleng Regional Justice Center (MRJC) in Kent. The JHS vision is "Opening doors to healthier, happier lives, and the mission is to assess and stabilize serious health problems for the detained population of the King County Correctional Facility and the Maleng Regional Justice Center with a focus on transition from jail". We are staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year, providing a broad range of health care to all individuals booked into the jails. For patients with serious mental health or medical conditions, special housing units (psychiatric and infirmary) along with a higher level of services and medical monitoring are provided. Since the patient population varies both in numbers as well as in acuity of health conditions, staffing is adapted and flexed to meet the constantly changing needs of the population. JHS staff manage the complex health needs of underserved populations, many of whom come to the facility without access to care in the community and with decompensated acute and chronic health conditions. Our division includes over 250 employees and an annual budget of over $60 million.
