Job Role
The overall aim is to provide a comprehensive Personal Wellbeing (PWB) programme of activities in four key areas to enable participants to make sustained changes to their lifestyle, including associations linked to causes of offending, to facilitate successful reintegration into local communities with positive role models, encourage changes to core values and beliefs about the impact of offending behaviour, and enable those being released from prison to be socially included in their local communities. Activities to build and maintain positive family and personal relationships and individual wellbeing will be provided by our supply chain.
