We have an exciting opportunity for a passionate and motivated person to join the dedicated team at Elizabeth Fry Charity supporting women in the criminal justice system.

In this role you will support the residents during their day-to-day life. You will be working with colleagues to manage the risk posed by residents, as well as supporting them to address any difficult areas within their life. This is an incredibly varied role, with no two days being the same.

The post involves working an average of 35.5 hours a week on a rolling five-week rota basis, which includes weekend shifts and occasional bank holidays.

We are looking for self-motivated, committed individuals who have a genuine desire to support women to rebuild their lives. In addition you will need:

• The ability to manage complex behaviours and to deal with people who may be in a difficult personal or emotional situation.
• Strong communication, influencing and reasoning skills and the ability to build effective working relationships.
• The ability to demonstrate an understanding of the issues surrounding women and their pathways to offending, as well as a willingness to learn.
• Good record keeping, mainly through the use of Microsoft Word and Excel.
