**Job summary**:
- Please refer to Job Description**Job description**:
Being an Interventions Facilitator is an incredibly rewarding, yet challenging role. A typical day as an Interventions Facilitator will involve 2.5-3 hours of face to face Programme delivery to offenders which may be in a group environment with a co-facilitator, or in a one-to-one format. The remainder of the day is typically spent writing debriefs and reports, visiting offenders on residential units to complete interviews for assessment, attending team supervision meetings, creating session material and session planning for the next day’s delivery.
The role would suit someone who is open to working with a diverse range of people, is confident in challenging and persuading others, who enjoys team working and is competent at expressing themselves both verbally and in writing. It is a fast paced role which involves working with complex offenders from a variety of backgrounds, with differing beliefs, attitudes and behaviours and therefore suits an open minded, patient and strong individual who is willing to explore these differences with a view to achieving positive change.
Due to the nature of the role a vast amount of training and support is provided to ensure all Interventions Facilitators are confident and competent to succeed. The training includes _(assessed)_ residential courses at the Prison Service College, other Prison locations and some training is now held via zoom technologies; where Intervention Facilitators are coached in all aspects of Treatment and Programme Delivery, this includes exploring the theory behind the Interventions we deliver as well as enhancing group management and facilitation skills.
**Overview of the job**
The role is based in a prison and will involve working in groups and one-to-one to deliver a programme to help prisoners understand their behaviours, build positive relationships, improve critical thinking skills and support them to live an offence-free future. The role will work as part of a small team of Group Workers to provide an important rehabilitative service and meet the Government’s ambition of reducing re-offending.
**Summary**
The job holder will deliver a range of activities and programmes, which include assessment, group and individual treatment and provides support to wider rehabilitative activity within the prison.
The post holder will be supported through training, career development opportunities and professional support.
This is a non-operational, non-rotational job with no line management responsibilities.
**Responsibilities, Activities and Duties**
The job holder will be required to carry out the following responsibilities, activities and duties:
- Deliver programmes in a group or individual basis, following a manual and delivering as designed.
- Organise materials for session delivery.
- Plan sessions as per the programme requirements and identify ways to deliver the sessions in a responsive way to meet the needs of the participants.
- Notify the Treatment Managers and other team members when sessions are unable to run, and complete missed session catch ups.
- Identify and actively recruit future programmes participants, completing assessments, and screening tools whilst maintaining an accurate database of the outcomes.
- Maintain accurate records of assessments and contact with prisoners.
- Conduct motivational interviews with prisoners with the aim to engage them in programmes.
- Continually motivate and engage future, current and past participants.
- Complete post session de-briefs and record accurately any key information from the sessions.
- Complete post-programme tasks including writing a record of progress, setting objectives, contributing to post-programme reviews and communicating progress with sentence management team, for each programme participant.
