- Help to imbed and implement this exciting new project, communicating with line management and the central Resettlement Passport Team to continue to inform long-term development.

The role may involve occasional direct work with prisoners but is primarily administrative in nature. You will create each prisoner’s resettlement passport, then work with a variety of stakeholders to identify, request and upload the relevant documentation that each person needs to help them on their release from prison. You will ensure the passport is shared with the prison leaver and necessary staff on release.

You will need to have great people and organisational skills and this post would be ideal for a high-calibre administrator. You will need to:
