In Custody Group Facilitator HMP Ranby

In Custody Group Facilitator

Salary: £27,783 plus benefits
Location: HMP Ranby

Contract: Permanent

Rebuilding your life after a custodial sentence is one of the toughest challenges a person can face. But with the right support, it's possible. We're looking for a dedicated In Custody Group Facilitator to join our team - someone with a rare mix of compassion, resilience, organisation, and flexibility. This role requires understanding that rehabilitation isn't just about offering advice; it's about actively supporting someone on their journey.

About the Role:

You'll work within the prison delivering 6-week courses to groups of participants to support them on their journey towards release. These courses are designed to be short, impactful, and engaging, so your ability to quickly build positive connections is vital. You will collaborate with Support Workers and Peer Mentors to deliver comprehensive support during the last 12 weeks of custody. As a key team member, you'll help individuals overcome barriers, build confidence, and take meaningful steps toward rehabilitation.

This is a demanding but deeply rewarding role. You'll work in a challenging environment with individuals who have complex needs and may be hesitant to engage. However, helping someone break the cycle and make real life changes can be life-changing-for them and for you.

What You'll Be Doing:

1. Group Facilitation: Deliver sessions to groups on topics like goal setting, social interaction, and positive decision-making.
2. Relationship Building: Foster genuine, trusting, and non-judgemental relationships with participants, creating a safe space for growth.
3. 1:1 Support: Work individually with participants to set and review goals, ensuring accurate and timely recordings.
4. Caseload Management: Manage multiple individuals, balancing their needs while maintaining administrative tasks.
5. Quality Recording: Keep thorough, up-to-date records of all interactions on our IT system to track progress.

What We Are Looking For:

• Training/Facilitation Experience: Ability and confidence to deliver engaging sessions.
• Communication Skills: Ability to engage, motivate, persuade, and listen, building strong connections.
• Safeguarding Awareness: Ability to identify safeguarding risks when supporting complex individuals, with support following challenging interventions.
• IT and Administrative Skills: Keeping meticulous records to measure progress and ensure effective interventions.

What We Offer:

At Ingeus, we support your personal and professional well-being with a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, with options to trade for additional leave.
• EAP Support Program: Available 24/7, including six free counselling sessions.
• Private Medical Insurance and Life Assurance.
• Up to 2 days of Community Giving (volunteering) annually.
• Eyecare Vouchers for glasses or eye care.
• Perks at Work: Exclusive discounts.
• Cycle to Work Scheme and Travel Season Ticket Loan.
• Long Service Awards.
• Salary Finance: Financial education and advice.
• Optional extra benefits like Critical Illness Cover and Dental Insurance.

While applications from those with lived experience are welcomed, this role requires an enhanced Level 1 DBS check. During the background check process, you'll have opportunities to shadow colleagues, ask questions, and learn at your own pace.

At Ingeus, our Justice division is dedicated to transforming lives and creating safer communities. Our mission is to reduce reoffending, build stronger communities, and help people realize their potential.
