Job Description
From Harm to Hope: A 10 year drug plan to reduce crime and save lives was published in 2021, following Dame Carol Black’s Independent Review of Drugs. As part of this and the 2021 Prison White Strategy paper, MOJ and HMPPS have committed to:
"Introduce Health and Justice Partnership Coordinators in every probation region in England by 2024/25".
We know that many people in contact with the criminal justice system have increased substance misuse needs, mental health difficulties and experience poorer health outcomes and premature deaths, than the rest of the general population.
The Health and Justice Partnership Coordinator role will work strategically to build connections between NHS partners, local authorities, commissioners and treatment providers both in the community and custody, to ensure clear pathways into treatment and other provision are in place for people in contact with the criminal justice system. The role will enhance support for people to access appropriate provision and treatment once they are released from custody, known as ‘continuity of care’ and through the increased use of Community Sentence Treatment Requirements (CSTR), which is a core feature of the recent Sentencing Review. The post holder will work regionally with strategic partners, to reduce premature death under supervision and contribute to the implementation of the regional suicide prevention plan. This role will work at system level to improve the lives of people in contact with the criminal justice system (CJS), specifically around improving and maintaining their health and wellbeing, addressing health related drivers of offending behaviour, reducing health inequalities and drug and alcohol related deaths.
Working as a Health and Justice Partnership Coordinator is a unique and rewarding role, with a focus on innovation and operational delivery. The postholder will work in tandem with relevant local partners and HMPPS operational policy leads to develop practice related to substance misuse and health-related release planning, designing and consulting on process to enable information sharing, the use of substance misuse and health-related licence conditions and understanding of health and substance misuse pathways.
To note: If we receive a high number of applications, we will initially shortlist candidates based on the statement of suitability. This is a fixed term post until March 2026 with the potential to extend, as such we cannot guarantee that the role will continue past the initial specified period.
