Personal Wellbeing Team Manager - (Remote) Cheshire

The overall aim is to provide a comprehensive Personal Wellbeing (PWB) programme of activities in four key areas to enable participants to make sustained changes to their lifestyle, including associates linked to causes of offending, to enable successful reintegration into local communities with positive role models, encouraging changes to core values and beliefs on the impact of offending behaviour, and to enable those being released from prison to be socially included in their local communities.

Activities to build and maintain positive family and personal relationships and own personal wellbeing will be provided by our supply chain. We aim to make the journey through all four categories a seamless and joined-up experience. Ultimately, we will address barriers, develop resilience and perseverance to cope with challenges and barriers faced both pre-release and in the community.

The Personal Wellbeing Manager will take a lead role in the strategic development, coordination and delivery of the service embedding new delivery models and supporting the development of related contracts and partnerships to ensure successful meeting of contractual requirements and participants' outcomes. To ensure a cohesive joined-up approach to delivery is maintained with our supply chain partners delivering on the two other categories of our Personal Wellbeing offer.
