  • Build and maintain strong relationships with healthcare teams, prison staff, Offender Management and other key partners.
  • Keep accurate and concise case notes, assessments, care plans and risk assessments.
  • Support the development of clear referral pathways across internal and external agencies.
  • Contribute to safe, holistic service delivery and share best practice with colleagues.
  • Refer service users to the Forward Meet & Greet service and support Meet at the Gate releases.
  • Ensure individuals are fully connected with community services in preparation for release.

What You Bring

  • A full UK driving licence (essential).
  • Strong organisational skills and confidence managing a busy caseload.
  • Excellent communication and partnership-working abilities.
  • A compassionate, inclusive and proactive approach to supporting people with complex needs.
