Location: Working across the area with an admin base within one of the North Cluster sites, HMP Drake Hall, HMP Foston Hall, HMP Morton Hall, HMP Nottingham, HMP Ranby, HMP Sudbury

The job involves leading and mentoring a disperse team of careers advisors who are working with people serving custodial sentences, to engage them in learning, training and employment opportunities, so they’re ready to start a new life on release and break the cycle of reoffending.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to people and communities.

You’ll need to have :

* A minimum of 2 years’ experience of working with offenders

* Experience of line managing people, to enable them to fulfil their potential at work

We are especially looking for applicants who have experience of managing teams who help offenders or other vulnerable groups to move forward in their lives. If you’re someone who can really connect with people to help them to progress, work in a prison environment, embrace the quality and compliance requirements of the contract and have the skills to work towards individual targets, we’d love to hear from you.

We’ll give you all the training you need to do the job and to get established in the new role. Our teams are always supportive and friendly towards new starters, to help them to settle into the job.

Are you ready to join a high-performing team and make a contribution to changing lives?
