Are you driven by a passion for empowering individuals and facilitating positive change? This Personal Wellbeing Coach role presents a unique and deeply rewarding opportunity to make a significant impact on the lives of individuals navigating the complexities of reintegration into society. If you're looking for a career that blends your interpersonal skills with a commitment to social justice, this position warrants your careful consideration.

Why This Role is a Compelling Career Move:

• Meaningful Impact: You will be at the forefront of supporting individuals both within custody and during their crucial reintegration phase. Your direct influence will help shape their journeys towards a successful and crime-free future.
• Holistic Support: This role goes beyond surface-level assistance. You'll provide tailored, in-depth advice and support, focusing on wellbeing and lifestyle, equipping individuals with the essential skills and confidence for community living.
• Advocacy and Empowerment: Acting as a vital advocate, you'll ensure participants' voices are heard, empowering them to make informed decisions and fostering a sense of agency.
• Skill Utilisation: This is an excellent platform to hone and apply your abilities in motivation, facilitating learning, and influencing positive behavioural change.
• Rewarding Compensation and Benefits: In recognition of your dedication, a competitive salary range of £24,650 - £29,000 per annum (dependent on experience) is offered, alongside a comprehensive benefits package. This includes:
  • Generous annual leave: 25 days + Bank Holidays + Birthday Day off (with the option to purchase additional days).

• Hybrid Working: This role offers a hybrid working model, allowing for a balance between remote work and essential travel within the local area for meetings and appointments.

Key Considerations for Aspiring Candidates:

• Emphasis on Lived Experience & Empathy: While direct lived experience of the criminal justice system or extensive peer mentoring is desirable, the organisation places a strong emphasis on an engaging personality and the ability to work compassionately with individuals who have faced diverse social and personal challenges. Your ability to connect and build rapport will be paramount.
• Commitment to Change: This role requires a genuine commitment to helping individuals desist from offending and build a better future. You'll need to be adept at fostering a positive performance culture where professional standards are maintained, and participants are enabled to achieve tangible positive change.
• Administrative Acumen: The role involves maintaining an electronic database, recording participant progress, and preparing reports and case studies. Strong organisational and record-keeping skills are essential.
• Safeguarding and DBS Check: As is standard in roles involving vulnerable individuals, a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check will be required. The organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting welfare.
• Active Community Engagement: Be prepared to travel around the local area as required to attend meetings and participant appointments, demonstrating a proactive approach to community engagement.

This Personal Wellbeing Coach position is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to contribute to meaningful social change and build a fulfilling career. If you possess the empathy, dedication, and drive to support individuals in transforming their lives, we encourage you to explore this exciting prospect.
