• Administrative Excellence: Maintain accurate records using approved templates, collect and report management information, and handle financial records related to the programmes.
• Enhancing Opportunities: Collaborate with the Prison Employment Lead to match prisoners with job vacancies and promote opportunities through activities like job clubs, exit interviews, housing clinics, and induction assessments.
• Efficient Communication: Serve as the central contact for the Employment Hub, prioritising and distributing communications, and supporting awareness sessions.
• Data and Reporting: Maintain establishment databases and provide timely reports to management, ensuring compliance with procedures and contributing to continuous improvement.
