Wellbeing Coach

Are you passionate about helping people? Then take a look at this brilliant opportunity to join us as a Social Inclusion Coach!

Working as part of our Personal Wellbeing Team, you’ll support offenders both in custody and as they reintegrate into society. You’ll help provide opportunities, such as gaining access to pro-social activities and community provisions, to encourage social interaction.

We’re looking for you to help our participants reflect and make some sustainable, positive changes to their lifestyles.

This is a rewarding opportunity that will allow you to utilise your skills to influence, support and encourage others to maximise their potential to build a better future. We’re not necessarily looking for someone with previous experience in this field, just so long as you have an engaging personality and excellent people skills, and can support a diverse range of people from a variety of backgrounds.

In return for your dedication, knowledge, and commitment, we’re offering a competitive salary of £23,000 per annum pro rata (dependent on experience) with these great benefits:

• Pro rata of 25 days annual leave + Bank Holidays + Birthday Day off (with the opportunity to buy additional days)
