Description:
Would you like to join a charity recognised as a great place to work (Investors in People / Best Companies Awards)? This is an opportunity to be part of an exciting new journey, delivering a cutting-edge criminal justice support programme.
In this role, you will be based at HMP Peterborough. You’ll work with clients who are 6–12 months pre- release, focusing on providing effective through-the-gate support. Your role will be to ensure each individual has a clear, structured plan in place for release.
You’ll meet clients one-to-one, supporting them across key areas such as housing, resettlement, healthcare, education, wellbeing, life skills, and employment. You’ll deliver tailored 1:1 sessions and signpost to relevant services within the prison.
To apply, you should have experience working with individuals in the criminal justice system (e.g. prison or probation settings). We also welcome applicants with experience supporting vulnerable individuals in areas such as mental health, substance misuse, or homelessness.
Criminology graduates with relevant voluntary or paid experience supporting similar client groups are encouraged to apply.
Please apply via this advert – we aim to respond to everyone. If you haven’t heard back within 72 hours, please complete the “Send Us A Message” form on the Contact Us page of the Red 5 People website, and a member of the team will respond.
For more information, you can call the office and ask for David (number available on the Red 5 People website).
You may have previously worked as a Prison Officer, Probation Officer, Resettlement Worker, Supported Housing Officer, Drug & Alcohol Worker, Careers Advisor, Employment Advisor, or Hostel Worker.
There are great benefits too, including 25 days’ annual leave (increasing with service), 2 paid volunteering days, an enhanced pension scheme, and life assurance
