About Unlocked

Unlocked Graduates exists to break cycles of reoffending. Currently, prison isn’t a place which successfully does this – the average prisoner has 16 previous convictions, and 55% of those released from short-term sentences reoffend within one year. The work we do is both extremely challenging and massively urgent. We aspire to have a deep impact on the landings of individual prisons but also breadth of impact through the whole sector and society at large.

Since 2017, we have sought to lead this change by recruiting, training and challenging the best graduates in the country to become prison officers. Our two-year programme has put the role on the map as a career where the best people can develop extraordinary leadership skills whilst making a real difference. We are ranked 22nd in the Times Top 100 Graduate Employers list and garner recognition in the UK and internationally for the impact our participants have on the landings.

Our participants work with prisoners to support them to stop reoffending, alongside studying for a Master’s degree, which helps them to understand systemic solutions to improve our criminal justice system. Our organisation draws on the evidence that relationships between prison officers and prisoners can be transformational, and with the best people in this role, prisons can be a place where cycles of reoffending can be broken.

About the role

The Head of Delivery role is absolutely integral to the success of the Unlocked programme, working both within the programme team and across the organisation to ensure the highest-quality delivery of all aspects of the programme.

The Head of Delivery will have excellent leadership potential, combining exceptional interpersonal skills with an ability to oversee continual improvements of process, logistics and content. This role is a high-impact position within the organisation, reporting to the Programme Director.

Why work for Unlocked?
