Pact is a highly respected independent charity, working across England and Wales to develop and deliver a range of innovative services. We provide practical and emotional support to prisoner’s children and families, to prisoners and those who have resettled back into the community. Our work is founded on core values, the first of which is a belief in the innate dignity of every human being, and our work focusses on human relationships, family and community. We are committed to achieving high standards of quality in all that we do.

About the role

A great opportunity has arisen for an experienced professional to join Pact as we start delivering a new community-based service supporting people with convictions to improve their personal wellbeing and strengthen family relationships, covering Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Halifax and Bradford.

You will be responsible for working towards service delivery targets and providing information to evidence outcomes achieved. Working with other professionals in partnership delivery will also be key.
