We are currently recruiting for a RECONNECT Team Leader, to cover the Cambridgeshire area, (hybrid working including HMP Whitemoor, HMP Peterborough (male & female) and HMP Woodhill, HMP Littlehey).

You will be responsible for providing a comprehensive, inclusive and bespoke RECONNECT service, including advice and guidance to Forward Trust clients across HMP Whitemoor, HMP Peterborough (male & female) and HMP Woodhill, HMP Littlehey and community services in the local area. There may be occasions where you could be asked to assist with other establishments and regions, either remotely or in person.

RECONNECT enables service users to access and sustain supportive interventions upon release from prison, whether that be physical or mental health in addition to general well-being support needs.

The service will offer signposting, GP referrals, accompanying to appointments, meet and greet at the gate, aftercare support and a connection to the wider Forward community.

Following a referral 12-weeks prior to release, the service is to identify our clients’ needs via a robust assessment and then working in partnership with many agencies to create a bespoke client centred care plan.
