Wilmslow, United Kingdom PSS Full time

**About Us**

At PSS, we’ve got an important job to do; and that’s to help people make the most of their lives, no matter what life throws at them. Whether you’re working directly with the people who use our services, or behind the scenes in one of our offices, every day you’ll be helping to make other people feel happier, healthier and more supported.

We’re a social enterprise or, as we like to call it - a ‘business with a heart’. This means that all the money we make goes back into finding new ways to help people. Our aim is simple; we want to help people change their lives for the better - no matter what life throws at them. We’ve got offices across Merseyside, North Wales, Lincolnshire, Manchester, Norfolk and Suffolk and the Midlands, where we’re making our stamp.

Our Women’s Turnaround team have been supporting female offenders in Merseyside since 2010. Based on the success of the service in delivering positive outcomes, Women’s Turnaround has expanded into Cheshire and North Wales.

**What’s our Women’s Turnaround service all about?**

Our open-minded Women’s Turnaround team support women who are on remand/awaiting trial and those serving sentences in HMP Styal. Our team work alongside the probation, prison service, partner agencies and the women to address any immediate/urgent needs around accommodation, finance, benefit and debts, family support and social inclusion.

Working with the women pre-release to understand the multiple reasons behind their offending behaviours and find ways to reduce their likelihood of reoffending in the future. Women are given the opportunity to access a range of specialist support options from one-to-one support, group work to remote support through PSS services and partner agencies.

**Meet Rebecca**
- **Rebecca was referred to Women’s Turnaround by Probation. Rebecca was serving 12 week custodial sentence and was due to be released in 3 weeks’ time. She met with a Women’s Turnaround project worker who carried out an assessment with her and identified immediate support needs in relation to accommodation and finance, benefit and debts, Rebecca was homeless, was not on any benefits and had significant debts. Rebecca had mental health needs, and her anxiety was increasing due to not knowing where she would be going when released.**_
- **An action was created alongside her project worker, and actions were put in place to help meet her immediate needs. She was referred to her local authority for housing, approved premises were requested, and housing providers were contacted for potential placements. Staff liaised with DWP around her benefits and liaised with services around her debts.**_
- **Upon release Rebecca was offered a room in shared accommodation and was offered follow up support in the community by her Turnaround worker to look for further housing options for her in the future. Her benefits were sorted whist in custody and appointments were made to access the local citizens advice service in the community to help with debts. She accessed group support around her emotional wellbeing in the women’s centre in Liverpool.**_

**What you’ll do as a Women’s Turnaround project worker**

As a project worker you’ll support people to turn their lives around, totally offering person-shaped support based around the unique and complex needs of every woman you work with. You’ll consider the needs of the individual, the complexity of their situation, any associated risks and offence-related issues. A commitment to treating people with dignity and respect is essential as you support people to understand their offending behaviours and reduce their chances of reoffending in the future.
