We are recruiting for a Trainee Health & Wellbeing Practitioner at HMP Highdown.

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.”

As a Forward trust trainee you will be employed on a fixed 12-month contract.

The aim of the traineeship is to provide training and development that facilitates onward employment. Forward Trust aims where possible to recruit and maximise those with lived experience into these roles.

During the traineeship you will be supported and given the opportunity to develop the skills and experience to apply for and move into permanent jobs at the end of the 12-month Traineeship.

All Trainees will work with a specific mentor on a bespoke training programme that may include specific qualifications funded by The Forward Trust alongside a comprehensive package of support and supervision.
