Are you passionate about helping people overcome barriers and build positive futures? Do you believe everyone deserves the opportunity to make lasting change?
We're looking for a Health & Wellbeing Practitioner to join our dedicated team, supporting adult and young men within the Criminal Justice System to improve their wellbeing, develop resilience and successfully reintegrate into their communities.
This is more than a job it's an opportunity to transform lives.
What you'll be doing
Working alongside experienced practitioners and partner organisations, you'll deliver personalised health and wellbeing support that empowers people to make meaningful, sustainable changes.
You'll provide tailored one-to-one and group interventions covering:
* Family and significant relationships
* Lifestyle and positive social networks
* Emotional wellbeing
* Social inclusion and community integration
From supporting individuals in custody to helping them transition successfully back into the community, you'll play a vital role in every stage of their journey.
You'll be responsible for
* Managing your own caseload and building trusted relationships with clients
* Assessing individual needs and developing personalised support plans
* Delivering engaging one-to-one and group sessions
* Providing practical advice, guidance and wellbeing interventions
* Working closely with prison teams, community services and partner agencies to ensure seamless support
* Recording outcomes and contributing to service performance targets
* Helping people develop the confidence and skills to lead healthier, more independent lives
What we're looking for
You'll be someone who is:
* Passionate about supporting vulnerable people to achieve positive change
* A skilled communicator who can build trust with people from diverse backgrounds
* Organised, resilient and confident managing a varied caseload
* Comfortable delivering both individual and group interventions
* A collaborative team player who enjoys working with partner agencies
Experience within criminal justice, health, wellbeing, substance misuse, mental health, housing, probation or social care is desirable, but above all we're looking for someone who genuinely wants to make a difference.
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.
