The Ideal Candidate

• Knowledge of the 9 Pathways to Reducing Re-offending (for women).
• Non-judgmental understanding of the life experiences and social problems affecting women in custody and how these also affect their ability to resettle effectively and safely into the community.

• Effective organisational skills suited to a busy department, including the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines and maintain high standards across all elements of the job.
• Ability to work effectively both in a team and on an individual basis.
• Developed communication skills (both oral and written).

Desirable

• Experience of working with challenging behaviour
• Understanding of the wider criminal justice system, including public protection arrangements.
