Make a real impact. Change futures. Strengthen communities.

Are you passionate about rehabilitation, wellbeing, and second chances? We're looking for a Part Time (28 Hours) proactive, client-focused professional to deliver Personal Well Being Services to adult men and young men within the Criminal Justice system.

In this dynamic role, you'll work alongside practitioners and subcontractors to provide tailored support across:

• Family & Significant Others

• Comprehensive risk, initial and ongoing assessments
• Structured 1:1 sessions and group programmes
• Care planning and regular reviews
• Transitional support from prison to community
• Integrated working with probation, health and wellbeing partners

You'll play a key role in measuring outcomes, meeting KPIs, and contributing to service targets, ensuring quality, compliance and meaningful results.

What We're Looking For

You'll be:

• Confident managing a diverse caseload
• Skilled in delivering structured interventions and group facilitation
• Organised, proactive and solution-focused
• Comfortable working across multi-agency environments
• Committed to safeguarding, confidentiality and ethical practice

Flexibility is essential, this may include occasional evenings/weekends and travel within your cluster to maintain continuity of care.

Join a multidisciplinary, purpose-driven team where your work has visible, measurable impact. You'll play a vital role in transforming lives, strengthening communities, and supporting individuals to build safer, healthier futures. This is a role that blends frontline support with meaningful partnership working, giving you the opportunity to see real change happen, every single day.

If you're motivated, resilient, and ready to help people build better futures, we'd love to hear from you.

All probation-based roles are subject to enhanced DBS checks and HMPPS security vetting. These checks can take up to 6- 16 weeks to complete. Any offer of employment will be conditional upon the successful completion of both checks.

Please note if you have lived overseas within the last 5 years then checks may take longer.
