**Job summary**:

- Please refer to Job Description**Job description**:
Our Woodwork Industry has 30 workshops across the estate with employment places for 622 prisoners. Woodwork items are not the only things you will manufacture in this life-changing role.

Leading a team of prisoners working in our woodwork workshop you will develop their skills and confidence, and possibly assess accredited vocational qualifications.

We will rely on you and your team to ensure our Woodwork products are manufactured to the highest standards, but the work you do with prisoners will have the longest lasting impact - and the most unique challenges. You will set tasks to match their ability, while ensuring safety and production is maintained at all times.

Along the way, you could play a part in innovative products for use in a custodial setting or launching a new range for another government department. You will certainly discover potential for rewarding development of your career.

As well as knowledge and skills spanning Woodwork production techniques, you will need strong communication and influencing skills and a caring, resilient approach.

**Overview of the job**

This is a non-operational instructional job in an establishment.

**Summary**

The job holder will be responsible for providing supervision, knowledge and skills to prisoners in a specialist workshop so they can improve their employment prospects on release with a view to reducing reoffending.

The jobholder will be able to teach prisoners towards achieving nationally recognised qualifications and may be supported by external organisations such as local colleges.
