I am currently recruiting for my client who are looking for a 'Buddy' wellbeing coordinator to work in a prison in the North West.
This role is permanent and part-time, paying £25,623 pro rata.
My client operates a Buddy Programme in all of the Lancashire prisons where they train prisoners to National Care Standards, adapted for use in prison, to support other prisoners who have health and social care needs.
The post-holder will be responsible for training prisoners (called Buddies) to a very high standard. The Buddies then go off to the Wings and support people who may be disabled, bed-ridden, have dementia, or any other health/social care needs. Essentially, they become carers, as you might expect to see supporting older people in the community.
The kind of person my client is looking for would, ideally, be familiar with health and social care, have experience with people in prison, and be a trainer. They should be able to pick up a training folder and run with it, write reports, gather data, and generally possess great administration and communication skills.
Prison vetting will be needed in this role. If offered a position, expect up to 6 weeks before starting due to prison clearance times.
If you are interested in this role, please contact Andy at Service Care Solutions on (phone number removed) or email (url removed).
