Criminal Justice
Prison Support Worker Permanent
Join an award-winning charity recognised as a fantastic employer, with accolades including Investors in People and Best Company Awards! You will be working on a brand-new prison wing designed to support offenders nearing release. This role involves a mix of one-to-one and group work, with a new group to engage with every eight weeks.
Your focus will be on providing education, training, and pre-release support to clients. The goal is to build their confidence and foster a positive mindset. A typical session, whether individual or group-based, may cover topics such as:
- Family relationships
- Nutrition, wellness, and healthy living
- Neurodiversity support
- Housing and employment
To apply, you must have previous experience working within the criminal justice sector—ideally in a prison setting, though experience in probation or other related environments is also welcome.
