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.
Role Overview
You will manage a caseload of clients at HMP Lewes (3-4 days a week) and Worthing Probation Trust (1-2 days a week).
Your clients will be within 12-12 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 will meet with 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.
Candidate Requirements
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.
