Are you working in a frontline criminal justice role and ready to step up?
 
The last person this charity hired into a similar role was in exactly that position. They'd spent a couple of years on the frontline, built up some supervisory experience, and were able to demonstrate strong leadership skills. They're now leading a service.
 
If that sounds like you, this could be a great next move. Ideally, you'll have some supervisory experience, or be able to demonstrate the skills needed to step into management.
 
You'll lead a team of 12 supporting people within the criminal justice system to rebuild their lives, working for a charity that's genuinely great to work for.
 
They've won awards (Best Companies), and they're big on developing their people. Both Regional Managers worked their way up internally, and even the current manager in this post stepped up from a frontline role after just 12 months.
 
The service supports people in prison and those released into the community, helping them with employment, housing, healthcare, wellbeing, debt, and benefits. It's a role where you can see the difference you're making.

What your week looks like:

2 days in their Peterborough Community Hub - A really nice space in the town centre. You'll be based alongside another manager and team, and it's a good chance to catch up on admin and stay visible. (There's also a music room, pool table, mini gym etc.) 

2 days visiting your team locally - Across prisons including Peterborough and Littlehey, plus probation services in Peterborough, Huntingdon, Cambridge and King's Lynn. 

1 day travelling further afield - This could include HMP Wayland, HMP Norwich, Norwich Probation or Hollesley Bay. 
(Travel is paid, but you'll need to be a driver and ideally based around Peterborough)

About you:
 
You're likely working in a frontline criminal justice (or similar) role and ready for that next step.
You'll have some experience of supporting or supervising others, or be able to demonstrate leadership skills and the confidence to step into a management role.
If you've already managed a team in a similar service (criminal justice, supported housing, homelessness, employability), that's also a great fit.
