Job description

Would you like to join a charity recognised as a great place to work (Investors in People / Best Companies Awards)? Be part of their exciting new journey with a cutting-edge criminal justice support programme.

In this role, you will manage a caseload of clients at HMP Bullingdon, a men's Cat B/C Prison, and Oxford/Bicester Community.

Your clients will be within 6-12 months of release, and your primary focus will be ensuring they have the necessary through-the-gate support, with key areas and a clear plan in place for their release. You'll meet with your clients one-to-one to discuss and plan activities around housing, resettlement, healthcare, education, wellbeing, life skills, and employment. You will deliver 1:1 sessions on these themes and signpost to services both within the prison and upon release to ensure ongoing support.

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 relevant volunteer experience (such as working with clients facing similar challenges) are also encouraged to apply.

Please apply via this advert; we aim to respond to everyone. If you haven't heard back within 72 hours, please complete the Send Us A Message form on the Contact Us page of the Red 5 People website, and we guarantee a response from a real person. For more details about the role, please call the office and ask for Lawrence (number on the Red 5 People website).

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. Alternatively, you may be a criminology graduate looking for your first step on the career ladder, with some relevant voluntary or paid experience.

There are many benefits too: 25 days of leave (increasing over time), 2 days paid volunteering, an enhanced pension scheme, and life assurance.

Interviews are ASAP.
