Pact is launching a new community‑based service that supports people with convictions to improve their personal wellbeing and strengthen family relationships.
Responsibilities
One‑to‑one support will be core to the service, including building trust and undertaking activities and interventions that meet the needs of each individual. You will also deliver group sessions and workshops to support the development of skills and strategies such as communication, resilience, negotiation and assertiveness skills; confident and responsible parenting behaviours and positive coping strategies. 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.
Qualifications
As a key member of our values‑led charity, you will be motivated to support people to turn their lives around. With a background in supporting people who have multiple and complex needs you will have the skills to engage sensitively with people about an area of their lives that is often the most important, their family. Ideally with experience of family work, you will understand the impact of criminality on family relationships. You will also have excellent interpersonal skills to build important relationships with partner agencies.
Benefits
Pact offers a range of benefits including a free advice, information and counselling service, contributory pension, corporate eye care scheme, cycle to work scheme and generous holiday entitlement. You will have the opportunity to attend training events to further develop yourself as a professional training and interventions worker. You will undergo a thorough induction process and be supported by a friendly and enthusiastic team.
