6 months ago

Ashford, United Kingdom Prison Advice and Care Trust Full time

This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of a pilot project across 9 women’s prisons supporting women with their family ties three months pre-release and a minimum of two weeks post-release; linking them into ongoing provision within the community.

As a Lead Family Resettlement Worker, you will lead and deliver a service that ensures prisoners, their children, carers and other relatives have access to appropriate advice, guidance, learning opportunities, care and support to better enable them to maintain or enhance positive relationships

You will assist in developing referral pathways for families, prisoners and other professionals to access the service working in partnership with existing family service providers operating within the prison. You will co-design a person-centred Relationship Care Plan with women accessing support, enabling you to support them to address their family and relationship needs as they prepare for release. The role will combine a casework
- based approach with delivery of programmes and courses, along with a signposting and advice service for the women in custody and their families.

You will build strong relationships with Probation Practitioners to ensure referrals to further family support via the Probation Women’s Services providers are made pre-release to support a seamless handover. This, together with referrals to wider partner organisations in the community, will ensure additional support needs are addressed post-release and continuity of support exists.

**For details of the length of contract please see the job description**About You:
To be successful in this role you will have demonstrable experience and understanding of working with families in a challenging multi-agency environment, ideally working with prisoners and/or their families.

You will have the ability to advocate for families dealing with imprisonment, promoting their human rights and ensuring their needs are considered, and views are heard at all levels. You will have the ability to develop referral pathways for families, prisoners and other professionals to access the service and ensure effective support for women post-release.

In addition, you will possess excellent organisational skills, excellent communication skills and be able to work in a prison environment whilst remaining calm. As the sole Pact worker on site, you will need to work independently, developing partnerships and relationships across the estate. Furthermore, you will act as an ambassador for Pact, conducting yourself professionally at all times, with high standards of personal integrity and accountability.

Ownership of a car for this role is desirable, though not essential.
