We'd love you to join us to help us promote the health and wellbeing of prisoners entering HMP Preston. Emotional Resilience Facilitators will support the delivery of Pact’s Emotional Resilience service to the benefit of prisoners. If you have an understanding of prison, and are a real 'doer' and 'people person', you might just be the person we're looking for.
About You:
Please note that this role is open to individuals with their own personal experience of imprisonment, and those who have not.
Because you personally know what prison's like, you'll be able to connect with people in prison, empathise with the emotional challenges they're facing and work to support them in the best ways possible. You'll be completely comfortable communicating with people of all levels and backgrounds, always able to find just the right words and tone to help people share your vision, while being a great listener who can understand other people's point of view. You will be hardworking, naturally organised, calm under pressure and used to liaising with a range of people and organisations to get things done. If this sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.
