We are recruiting for a Regional Health & Wellbeing Practitioner in our Surrey Prisons.

Here at Forward Trust, we deliver a complex range of drug and alcohol services in the unique prison environment.

Our support includes providing advice, health and wellbeing, motivational work, clinical services, and a wider range of group work and treatment programmes.

The Forward Trust services which are delivered within prison settings are commissioned by NHS England and are delivered in partnership with primary healthcare providers and HMPPS. Integration and partnership are integral to the work we do.

We believe that everyone can live a fulfilling life, whatever their past. Our work in prisons aims to support those affected by drug or alcohol issues to create lasting change and reduce dependency, homelessness, unemployment and re-offending.”

You will be working within an integrated healthcare framework to provide support to prisoners aged 18 and over. The team have a broad skills mix to deliver combined psychosocial and clinical interventions promoting holistic recovery and health and wellbeing to prisoners.

This might include working with low-level mental health needs and/or substance misuse issues.

Our core purpose is to break the cycle of crime and you play a key part in bringing it to life. In practice, this means you will deliver tailored interventions based on your clients’ individual requirements.

That means thinking collaboratively and providing a seamless link into our clinical, family work, housing, employment, and recovery and reintegration services (to name a few), as well as collaborating with other agencies.

The flexible nature of this role means you will also support locations with additional needs such as carrying out assessments, second checking or other relevant duties to enable the smooth running of the service.

Our success is based around targets and measuring the effectiveness of our work, so accurate and timely recording of data will be a vital part of your role
