Shannon Trust are delighted to be working with His Majesty’s Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS) to provide peer reading strategy coordination at HMP Oakwood. Working closely with the prison and their staff, people in prison, Shannon Trust volunteers and mentors, this post will lead the delivery and development of our prison-based reading and numeracy programme, maximising opportunities for people in prison to learn to read.
Ideally you will have some experience of prison settings underpinned by the ability to build relationships and personal qualities that include resilience, determination and a problem-solving approach.
The role will be prison-based. Employee benefits include:
- a company contribution to pension scheme of up to 5%
- 30 days holiday plus bank holidays
- life insurance
- paid volunteering days
- discounts via Reward Gateway
- an Employee Assistance Programme
The biggest benefit though is our culture - our people really want to work for the organisation.
We welcome job applications from people with lived experience of the criminal justice system and do not routinely ask for details of any criminal convictions. These roles do require prison security clearance, so we will need to ask for details of any relevant criminal convictions before an offer of employment is finalised.
Please note this role is subject to contract award
