We are recruiting for Team Leader - Camau CRS Accommodation Service - Prisons

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

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

The Forward Trust services which are delivered within Welsh prison settings are commissioned by Ministry of Justice and are delivered in partnership with HMPPS prison and probation colleagues and G4s prison colleagues and HMPPS Probation resettlement colleagues at HMP Parc. 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 flexibly as part of the Camau leadership team, covering a region or specialism (Custody/ Community) in the Camau CRS Accommodation Wales team to deliver a high quality and inclusive Accommodation Service as part of the HMPPS Commissioned Rehabilitative Services (CRS).

Leading on improving access to transitional support from prison to the community via integrated working with other Housing, Health and Wellbeing partners, both within the prison and in the community, is an essential element of the work to prepare service users for release.

You will also be providing coaching, mentoring and line management support to a Senior Housing Interventions Officer and a team of frontline Housing Interventions Workers delivering interventions to adult male prison leavers and those on community orders within the Probation services.

The support is tailored to individual needs and is delivered using a blend of 121 and group interventions enabling and empowering men on probation to make progress towards desired housing outcomes.
