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.
We are looking for a bold leader with a proven track record of success in project and programme delivery who can lead a team to reach ambitious targets. 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?
You will have the satisfaction of working for a high-performing and exciting organisation which is actively making an impact on one of the most challenging social justice issues which exists in our society today. You will also receive an excellent package of benefits, including:
- 27 days’ annual leave
- Pension scheme with 10% employer contribution

- Interest-free season ticket loans
- Cycle To Work or Electric Vehicle (EV) scheme
