Have you ever considered working... in a prison?

Like any educational setting, Prisons come with their challenges. In this environment, learners are locked up for large periods of the day, away from their families and for some, their children. Most are at rock bottom, having to live with the regret of what they have done - education gives them a focus and hope.

Education provides prisoners with an opportunity to upskill, increasing their future employment prospects which directly reduces the likelihood of reoffending. Many prisoners will arrive without having basic Maths or English skills. Prison Education ensures all learners are put through Functional Skills Maths & English, which then puts them on the pathway to vocational learning courses, such as Carpentry, Bricklaying, Painting & Decorating, Plastering & Tiling, Industrial Cleaning, Barbering, Catering and Horticulture.

Prisons have a dedicated education department, with classrooms and fully functioning workshops, where teaching and learning can take place. You will be fully supported by an experienced education department. Training and development opportunities are available.

This position is for an Assistant Head of Education & Quality for a Prison Education Deparmtnet

The role will involve management and development of the Prison Education Department working closely with the Head of Education. Whilst also ensuring that high quality teaching and learning is delivered across the department.

The ideal candidate will have experience in the prison education sector, however if you have experience of other alternative education provisions this will also be valuable.

Monday to Friday - Full Time

Salary scale: up to £39,000 depending on experience and qualification

Generous annual leave entitlement
Structured career progression and training & development opportunities
Wellbeing support providing well-being support for all
Generous pension shceme
Staff discounts
