Step into a role where your confidence, compassion and professionalism truly matter. This role supports the operations of an Approved Premises working with high-risk offenders. Responsibilities include engaging with residents, helping prepare meals, supporting sentence plans with probation and police partners, and assisting with admin and activity delivery. The role involves enforcing curfews and drug/alcohol testing requirements, maintaining safety, cleanliness, and well-being at the premises, and ensuring accurate and timely record-keeping. Staff are expected to model respectful behaviour, follow operational procedures, and contribute to a positive, enabling environment in line with Hestia and Ministry of Justice standards. You'll thrive as part of a supportive team, leading by example and getting involved in practical day‑to‑day tasks such as cooking, gardening and shared activities that help create a stable and enabling environment. Your awareness of safeguarding issues and your ability to respond appropriately will be central to keeping people safe and supported.

What do I need to bring with me? You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application. The role requires the capacity to maintain firm boundaries and use authority appropriately while working pro‑socially and positively with others, alongside an understanding of the emotional and behavioural impact of trauma and the ability to support people who may display a wide range of emotions, behaviours and communication challenges. It calls for strong engagement and communication skills, a flexible and responsive approach, and an optimistic belief in people's capacity to change.

Working as part of a team is essential, leading by example and taking a practical, hands‑on approach to tasks such as cooking, gardening, household duties and leisure activities. A solid understanding of safeguarding issues and the ability to address them appropriately is also key. This role requires working shifts, including evenings and weekends.
