Durham, United Kingdom Ministry of Justice Full time

**Regional Employment Broker - New Futures Network - North East Prisons Group - 77734**
**£44,332 - £53,201**
**Durham**:
**Overview of the job**:
The role of New Futures Network (NFN) Regional Employment Broker is to create employment opportunities for prisoners in custody, through release on temporary licence (ROTL) and on release from custody. This will be achieved by building strong relationships between Prison Governors and Commercial employers within their designated regions.

The Employment Brokers will be directly managed by the Prison Group Director (PGD) but will be centrally supported by the NFN Hub to ensure that the national approach remains commensurate with Ministerial direction. The Hub will provide up to date labour market intelligence that will drive targeted commercial engagement in Industry sectors where skills gaps and vacancies are the most acute. Skills gaps will be identified on both a National and Regional basis.

The Regional Broker will be responsible for working with Employers, Governors and Regional Executive Teams to inform and shape training and education curriculums within establishments to match employer requirements and maximise prisoner employment pathways.

The NFN Central Hub will target 5 key sectors which will be reviewed annually. A senior Sector Ambassador from a commercial background will be appointed within each sector and will advocate NFN delivery, provide expertise within their field and unlock potential contacts and engagement on a National and Regional level.

In line with the above model, Regional Employment Brokers will also assume expertise in one of the designated 5 Sectors linking in with the Hub Sector Ambassador. This will ensure that across the national network of Regional Brokers, expertise is in place to guide and take forward initiatives with key employers on a national basis.

To offer informed judgement to Commercial Stakeholders on prisoner employment placements through ROTL or release, the Regional Employment Brokers will be required to understand the Security category of prisons within their Region, the activities, education and training delivered there.

Employment Brokers should also understand the activity capacity within the prisons in their designated regions and remain alive to potential commercial opportunities that could sit within such sites. Should such opportunities be identified the Business Development arm of NFN should be notified to take forward and develop new initiatives.

Having developed and strengthened relationships between establishments and key employers the Regional Broker will hand on day to day running of engagements to the most appropriate point of contact within the establishment. They will however continue to assess and measure employment outcomes and report this data into the Hub.

Where outcomes or engagements with external stakeholders are being adversely affected the Regional Employment Broker will flag this with Establishments, address and resolve. Where resolution cannot be achieved they will escalate to PGD and NFN Hub for resolution.

The Regional Broker will need to develop a good underpinning knowledge of Probation Service delivery and key contacts within. This will ensure that flexible working arrangements that meet the needs of the employer and employee can be set post release. Where employment outcomes are adversely affected post release, this should flagged by the Employment Broker and signposted to the relevant point of contact within the Probation Service for resolution. The Employment Broker must remain positioned and maintain the positive relationships with key employers.

The roles will be regionally based with the expectation that post holders will travel as and when required.
The post holder will have line management responsibility for staff at a local level. This is a non-operational post.

**Summary**:
The New Futures Network (NFN) is a national network, created to increase the number of prisoners in employment on release and working in prisons in England and Wales.

New Futures Network will operate a ‘Hub and Spoke’ Model.

The Regional Employment Brokers will act as the ‘Spokes’, they will be supported and directed by the HQ NFN ‘Hub’ and improve employment opportunities by:

- Targeting employment sector bodies and large and small employers within their designated regions to promote the benefits of employing ex-prisoners on release.
- Building partnerships between employers and prisons, linking the work prisoners do in custody with jobs on release.
- Identifying and feeding back messages from employers about the training and development that prisoners will need.

The Employment Brokers will develop employment pathways for prisoners by strengthening relationships between employers and Governors. Once such initiatives are developed they will be cascaded to key establishment personnel to deliver and maintain. Where employment outcomes are adversely affected it is the Employment B
