Job description

We’re looking for a compassionate and motivated Custody Support Worker to join our CFO Evolution team and make a real difference in the lives of individuals in custody.

In this role, you’ll support a caseload of participants within a prison environment starting from initial engagement and assessment and continuing throughout their sentence. You’ll provide motivational guidance and tailored support to help participants stay engaged, overcome personal challenges, and prepare for successful reintegration into the community.

Support is delivered through a mix of one to one sessions and group interventions, with a strong focus on pre-release planning to ensure a smooth transition back into society.

We’re ideally looking for someone with experience in one or more of the following areas: probation services supporting individuals under supervision or on license, social care working with vulnerable adults or young people, prison or custody settings with a focus on rehabilitation or reintegration, substance misuse or mental health services involving motivational support or mentoring, or community outreach and housing support.

We welcome applications from individuals with lived experience, recent graduates eager to gain experience in the criminal justice sector, and professionals who have worked within areas such as criminal justice, probation, mental health, recovery, homelessness, social care or substance misuse. We value lived experience as much as professional experience and recognise that the empathy, understanding and resilience gained through both can make a real difference in supporting people to achieve positive outcomes.

In return for your dedication, knowledge, and commitment, we offer a competitive salary of £26,000 - £29,000 per annum (dependent on experience) with these great benefits:

• 25 days annual leave + Bank Holidays + Birthday Day off (with the opportunity to buy an additional 5 days)
• Healthcare Cash Plan, incl. 3 x salary life assurance
• Annual salary pay review
• Refer a friend scheme
• Free access to Benefit Hub - an online portal with access to a wide range of retail discounts, cycle to work scheme, and additional voluntary benefits

Our Communities division is part of an employee-owned organisation and we continually pride ourselves on our sense of community, both in the incredible work we do throughout UK and Ireland. People are at the front, centre and heart of every service we provide and each decision we make.

Location: HMP Portland which benefits from a range of transport options, with Weymouth railway station providing mainline rail connections and local bus services operating between Weymouth and the Isle of Portland. The prison is easily accessible via the A354 and offers on-site parking for staff.
