**Background to the Role**

The reoffending rate has remained broadly static at around 29% since 2010. Reoffending is costing society approximately £18bn per year and almost half of all prisoners reoffend within 12 months of release.

The Prisons Strategy White Paper was published in December 2021. As part of the paper, MOJ and HMPPS committed to:
"_A new Prisoner Education Service, to make sure offenders can improve their basic literacy and numeracy, as well as acquire further vocational qualifications, like construction and computing, making them more employable when they leave prison_."

The Accelerator project will play a key role in meeting this commitment. The project seeks to work with prisons to reduce reoffending and improve outcomes for prisoners and prison leavers.

As part of this we are introducing a new role: Head of Education, Skills and Work within prisons.

This is an exciting opportunity to work within a prison and be responsible for the whole of education, skills and work.

**Overview of the Job**

This is a functional management job within an establishment.

Responsible for delivering high-quality education, skills and work provision, in line with prisoner need and aligned with regional, national and Ofsted standards and frameworks, to support prisoners into employment upon release.

This is either an operational or non-operational job with line management responsibilities. If operational, please see technical requirements.

**Summary of the role**

The job holder will be responsible for setting and leading the strategic direction for all of education, skills and work within the prison. This will involve developing a coherent approach to all areas of “Education, Skills and Work”, ensuring that sequencing of activities is purposeful and directed towards maximising prisoners’ opportunities to access employment, education and training on release.

The job holder must ensure that all Education, Skills and Work activities are structured around the 5 pillars of the Ofsted Education Inspection Framework, supporting other function heads within the prison to maximise this approach in areas of prisoner residence and social interaction.

They will work with education providers, prison industries and local private enterprise to make the most appropriate use of workshops and all other prisoner places of work, providing prisoners with the learning and skills required to compete for and achieve employment within the local labour market.

As a member of the Senior Management Team (SMT), the job holder will contribute and implement their Function’s objectives as defined in the establishment’s Business Plan.

**Responsibilities, Activities and Duties**
- Responsible for setting and leading the strategic direction for all of education, skills and work within the establishment.
