We are seeking a compassionate and skilled Family Support Worker to join our Release and Transfer team at HMP Belmarsh, supporting positive change and making a lasting impact.
The Role
As a Family Support Worker, you will be part of the Release and Transfer Team providing tailored interventions and recovery approaches to clients and their families within 12 weeks prior to release and 12 weeks post release.
You will work in the prison and the Leavers Lounge carrying out assessments and assist with continuity of care for prison leavers. This includes accompanying people in treatment to appointments in the community after release.
You will case manage clients and provide pre-and-post-released advice, support and onward referral to families most at risk.

Previous experience of working within health, rehabilitation, treatment, and re-offending prevention services would be beneficial.
