Shannon Trust Facilitator – HMP Bedford & HMP Littlehey
Full‑time role (part‑time role (3 days at HMP Bedford or 2 days at HMP Littlehey) is also considered).
About the Role
Shannon Trust is delighted to partner with His Majesty’s Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS) to provide peer‑led learning programmes at HMP Bedford and HMP Littlehey. Working closely with the prison staff, the people in prison, Shannon Trust volunteers and mentors, this Post will lead the delivery and development of our prison‑based reading and numeracy programme, maximising opportunities for people in prison to learn to read.
Ideally you will have some experience of prison settings underpinned by the ability to build relationships and personal qualities that include resilience, determination and a problem‑solving approach.
Contract
This role is a fixed‑term role until 31 May 2027 with the opportunity to be made permanent subject to contract renewal.
Benefits
Employee benefits include a company contribution to pension scheme of up to 5%, 30 days holiday plus bank holidays, life insurance, paid volunteering days, discounts via Reward Gateway and an Employee Assistance Programme. The biggest benefit though is our culture – our people really want to work for the organisation.
Eligibility & Security
We welcome job applications from people with lived experience of the criminal justice system and do not routinely ask for details of any criminal convictions. These roles do require prison security clearance, so we will need to ask for details of any relevant criminal convictions before an offer of employment is finalised.
Please note this role is subject to contract award.
