Group Delivery Trainer

Are you passionate about supporting people to break the cycle of reoffending and build a better future? We are working with a forward-thinking justice services provider to play a vital role within a transformational prison-based programme. This is more than just a job — it’s a chance to be part of a service that helps some of the most marginalised individuals in society take meaningful steps toward rehabilitation and resettlement.

As a Group Delivery Trainer, you’ll work closely with participants within a custodial environment to deliver structured, engaging group sessions and personalised one-to-one support. This role is based on the CFO Evolution Programme, a nationally recognised initiative that helps individuals in custody develop skills, improve confidence, and move closer to employment or training opportunities upon release.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Facilitating high-quality group sessions in line with an established timetable and learning framework.
• Building meaningful relationships with participants to foster trust, motivation, and long-term engagement.
• Providing one-to-one guidance, coaching, and mentoring tailored to each individual’s journey.
• Supporting participants to address barriers such as mental health, substance misuse, or a lack of qualifications or work experience.
• Monitoring progress, recording outcomes, and setting achievable development objectives.
• Collaborating with prison staff and partner agencies to ensure seamless wraparound support.
• Championing a trauma-informed and person-centred approach in every interaction.

What We Are Looking For:

We’re seeking someone with both professional competence and personal empathy — someone who can balance the structure of delivery with the adaptability to meet participants where they are.

Essential:

• Experience working with people who have been in custody or marginalised from mainstream services.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with a non-judgemental and approachable manner.
• Ability to plan and deliver engaging group sessions that meet learning or personal development goals.
• Good organisational and IT skills, with the ability to monitor progress and maintain accurate records.
• A genuine desire to help people turn their lives around.

Desirable:

• A recognised qualification in Information, Advice & Guidance (IAG), teaching, training, or coaching.
• Knowledge of desistance theory and the criminal justice system.
• Experience working within a prison or probation environment.
• Familiarity with local and national training, education, and employment opportunities.

What’s in It for You:

• A meaningful role where you’ll directly impact people’s futures.
• Full support with onboarding, safeguarding training, and DBS checks.
• An inclusive and accessible recruitment process – including reasonable adjustments if required.
• Commitment to flexible working and a values-led culture.
• Opportunities for personal and professional development.

We Welcome All Applicants:

Applications are actively encouraged from individuals with lived experience of the justice system, as well as from candidates from underrepresented backgrounds.
