Unlocked Graduates is an award-winning organisation that aims to change the way we develop society’s future leaders, as well as how we think about prisons and prisoners by focusing on rehabilitation, and addressing the damage and cost of reoffending.

At the core of Unlocked Graduates is a new leadership programme, funded by HMPPS and our charitable supporters, that will get top graduates into prisons working as frontline prison officers for two years. The project grew out of a recommendation in the Coates’ Review of prison education.

Our participants are asked to focus on rehabilitation and breaking cycles of re-offending to give second chances to those who lacked opportunities earlier in life. This work will form part of their studies for a master’s degree which they will complete while taking on the full duties of a frontline prison officer. At the end of the programme they will be asked to develop policy ideas that they think have the potential to influence systemic change.

We want the programme to raise the status of a currently invisible and undervalued public service by attracting a different kind of leader to work in prisons and help identify ways to reform the prison system, reduce re-offending and improve rehabilitation. We also want our participants to consider entering other professions and sectors at the end of the two years and are building corporate relationships to offer such opportunities.

We are looking for an outstanding individual who can work with a significant budget and a small, talented team to deliver training, events and opportunities that are on a par with leading graduate programmes.

Reporting to the Head of Delivery, the Programme and Events Manager will work across the full breadth of programme delivery as well as taking a leading role in the planning and delivery of events.

You will act as the “glue” that holds the programme team together: Managing and monitoring the project plan and budget, ensuring milestones are being met, and coordinating across the organisation to maximise efficiency and ensure an efficient joined up approach.

The key event deliverable is the annual Summer Institute – a seven-week training programme with regional and national residential elements. This includes complex timetabling of training; management of over 30 external organisations and speakers; logistical, accommodation and catering arrangements; and staff support planning. You will work closely with student accommodation providers, universities and event spaces. You will also lead on delivering other events including our annual conference, lecture days and graduation ceremony.
