Are you passionate about empowering women involved in the criminal justice system? Join our client's dedicated team on a temporary basis!
Our client, a leading organisation providing specialist support services, is seeking compassionate and skilled Temporary Community Keyworkers. You will play a vital role in a service dedicated to helping women address complex needs across the 9 pathways to offending, reduce their risk of re-offending, and build safer, independent, crime-free lives.

Key Responsibilities:

Provide essential prison in-reach support to women nearing release (via phone, video call, or face-to-face).
Meet women "at the gate" upon release to ensure immediate support.
Conduct comprehensive holistic needs and risk assessments.
Develop, implement, and regularly review individualised support plans using a trauma-informed approach.
Deliver consistent 1-to-1 emotional and practical support in the community.
Build and maintain strong professional relationships with clients, probation staff, and local support agencies.

Maintain accurate, timely, and confidential case records on required systems.

About You (Essential Requirements):

Knowledge: You possess an in-depth understanding of the complex issues faced by women offenders or those at risk of offending.
Experience: You have significant experience working directly with women facing multiple disadvantages (e.g., homelessness, substance misuse, domestic abuse, mental health challenges), ideally within a criminal justice context. You are skilled in needs assessment, risk assessment, and risk management. You have experience managing professional boundaries and responding effectively to challenging situations.
Skills: You have strong crisis management skills and remain calm under pressure. You are an excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills. You can effectively manage a varied caseload, prioritise tasks, and work autonomously. You possess good administrative and IT skills for record-keeping and support planning. You demonstrate a passion for motivating others, enabling change, and engaging hard-to-reach individuals. You are adept at networking, advocacy, and problem-solving.
