Would you like to join a charity recognized as a great place to work (Investors in People / Best Companies Awards)? Join them at the start of an exciting journey with their new cutting-edge criminal justice support programme.
The contract went live in August, and we will be recruiting for multiple roles both before and after this date as new staff are phased in. The contract runs for three years, with a likely two-year extension. We are helping this charity recruit a brand-new team, and they have multiple roles available.
In this role, you will manage a caseload of clients in HMP Downview. You will work with a caseload of offenders to provide support around training, education and employment whilst signposting them to services covering housing / resettlement needs to ensure they are receiving well rounded support pre-release. You will provide 1:1 support and guidance, setting goals and milestones to aid their progress.
To apply, you must have experience working with individuals within the criminal justice system, either in a prison or custodial setting. Alternatively, experience supporting vulnerable clients in areas such as mental health, substance abuse, or homelessness is valuable. Criminology graduates with volunteer experience are also encouraged to apply.
You might have previously worked as a prison officer, probation officer, resettlement worker, supported housing officer, drug and alcohol worker, careers advisor, employment advisor or hostel worker...
