Role: Academy Manager (full-time). Location: HMP Styal, Cheshire

This is an opportunity to really change lives – managing one of our prison-based workshops and mentoring people seeking to turn their lives around. Our prison-based workshops – HMP Academies – offer serving prisoners opportunities to develop transferable skills, real-world work experience and earn an enhanced wage. Academy Managers oversee operations day-to-day, guiding and mentoring participants as they work on commercial contracts. They are integral to the wrap-around, through-the-gate support that helps us to reduce reoffending rates to <5% each year.

Responsibilities & Role overview: Our ideal candidate will be compassionate and organised, able to motivate and empower people while running a busy workshop. In-date NOMS vetting and a Forklift Truck licence are desirable, but not essential – National Offender Management Service (NOMS) vetting will need to be applied for.
