If you have strong people skills, enjoy working with groups, and are passionate about helping others achieve their potential, we'll provide the training and support needed to succeed in the role.

Why Join Us?

This is an exciting time to join our team. HMP Channings Wood is preparing for a significant prison expansion, and our service will grow alongside it to support an increasing prison population.

• Facilitate structured interventions, including the Atlas Programme.
• Create safe, inclusive, and supportive environments that encourage participation.
• Support individuals to build confidence, resilience, and motivation for change.
• Complete assessments and identify appropriate interventions.
• Provide one-to-one support to encourage engagement and progression.
• Work closely with healthcare teams, prison staff, and partner agencies.
• Contribute to improved wellbeing, reduced harm, and positive rehabilitation outcomes.

What We're Looking For

You might be a great fit if you:

• Enjoy facilitating discussions, workshops, or group activities.
• Communicate effectively and build positive relationships.
• Can motivate and engage people from a range of backgrounds.
• Create safe, inclusive, and respectful environments.
• Are organised and able to manage competing priorities.
• Work well independently and as part of a team.
• Are committed to learning and developing your skills.

Experience in education, training, youth work, social care, mental health, criminal justice, probation, coaching, mentoring, healthcare, or wellbeing services is welcomed but not essential. We value attitude, motivation, and transferable skills and will provide training to support your development.

What We Offer

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
• Paid weekly Wellbeing Hour.
• Pension scheme and employee wellbeing support.
• Discounts on shopping, travel, and entertainment.
• Ongoing training and career development opportunities.
