Prison Advice and Care Trust

Pact is a highly respected independent charity, working across England and Wales to develop and deliver a range of innovative

services. We provide practical and emotional support to prisoner’s children and families, to prisoners and those who have

resettled back into the community. Our work is founded on core values, the first of which is a belief in the innate dignity of

every human being, and our work focusses on human relationships, family and community. We are committed to achieving high

standards of quality in all that we do.

About the role

A great opportunity has arisen for an experienced professional to join Pact as we start delivering a new community-based service

supporting people with convictions to improve their personal wellbeing and strengthen family relationships.

One-to-one support will be core to the service including building trust and undertaking activities and interventions that meet the

needs of each individual. You will also deliver group sessions and workshops to support the development of skills and strategies

such as communication, resilience, negotiation and assertiveness skills; confident and responsible parenting behaviours and

positive coping strategies. You will be responsible for working towards service delivery targets and providing information to

evidence outcomes achieved. Working with other professionals in partnership delivery will also be key.

About you:

As a key member of our values-led charity, you will be motivated to support people to turn their lives around. With a background

in supporting people who have multiple and complex needs you will have the skills to engage sensitively with people about an area

of their lives that is often the most important, their family. Ideally with experience of family work, you will understand the

impact of criminality of family relationships. You will also have excellent interpersonal skills to equip you to build important

relationships with partner agencies.

What we offer:

Pact offers a range of benefits including a free advice, information and counselling service, contributory pension, corporate eye

care scheme, cycle to work scheme and generous holiday entitlement. You will have the opportunity to attend training events to

further develop yourself as a professional training and interventions worker. You will undergo a thorough induction process and be

supported by a friendly and enthusiastic team.
