Within Care and Rehabilitation Services, the philosophy of our prisons is to rehabilitate offenders and equip them to re-integrate into mainstream society on release. We seek to normalise prison conditions as far as possible to reflect life in the outside community. Our aim is to create an environment in which staff and prisoners feel safe and causes of prison stress are minimised. Central to our philosophy is the relationship between staff and prisoners. Our training and operational practices emphasise the need to treat prisoners with dignity and respect and G4S staff build positive and supportive relationships with the prisoners in their care. HMP & YOI Parc accommodates 1800 convicted male adult prisoners and remand/ convicted young offenders and young people in a secure but modern environment.
We now have an opportunity for an Interventions Facilitator to join the Interventions Team at HMP Parc.
Our team’s purpose is to reduce reoffending by supporting individuals to identify their personal risk factors, develop their protective factors and work towards their pro-social goals. We support the individuals that we work with to recognise the strengths that they possess and introduce skills and strategies to support development of self-awareness and management of risk factors. In the role of a facilitator we adopt a strengths-based approach and use motivational interviewing techniques to promote change and support self-efficacy and self-esteem.

- Deliver accredited interventions aimed at personal development, increasing living skills and recovery.
- Take an active part in developing & delivering alternative interventions focused on increasing positivity, engaging in self improvement, improving wellbeing and building a feeling of self worth for prisoners.
