In this role, you will manage a caseload of clients at HMP Springhill, a mens Cat D Open Prison.
Your clients will be within 612 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. Youll meet with your 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.
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.
