Employment Specialist (Criminal Justice) – Ref: LZ344 Contract

You will be working on a cutting-edge contract, and the big aim is to stop re-offending.

Together with their supply chain partners, you will provide specialist support to ensure that people do not re-offend by ensuring that they have a stable progressive release, with support around housing, family re-integration, drug and alcohol support (delivered by partner providers) and employment support (delivered by yourself).

You will work with a caseload of 50, which will consist of low-high level risk ex-offenders i.e. sex offenders – so you need to be confident, and adaptable to challenging situations. There are a range of targets to work to, such as job starts, short courses, work experience, vocational training or general support measures, so you also need to be goal and target motivated with the ability to work independently.

Please note: you will cover probation centres at Southampton. This is currently an 18 month FTC. 

Access to a vehicle is ideal, if not, you must be flexible to cover the locations mentioned – it is an exciting varied role so no day is the same!

To apply, you must have worked within the Employment Services sector as an Employment Advisor, Employment Consultant, Job Coach, or an Employer Engagement staff looking for a slight change.

This is also a great career opportunity for university graduates with a background in Criminology/Criminal Studies

Interviews will take place ASAP via Microsoft Teams
