Job description

We encourage applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that represents the wider society that we serve. We pride ourselves on being an employer of choice. We champion diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued and a sense of belonging. To find out more about how we do this visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice/about/equality-and-diversity.

Our Woodwork Industry has 30 workshops across the estate with employment places for 622 prisoners. Woodwork items are not the only things you will manufacture in this life-changing role.

Leading a team of prisoners working in our woodwork workshop you will develop their skills and confidence, and possibly assess accredited vocational qualifications. We will rely on you and your team to ensure our Woodwork products are manufactured to the highest standards, but the work you do with prisoners will have the longest lasting impact - and the most unique challenges. You will set tasks to match their ability, while ensuring safety and production is maintained at all times.

Along the way, you could play a part in innovative products for use in a custodial setting or launching a new range for another government department. You will certainly discover potential for rewarding development of your career.

As well as knowledge and skills spanning Woodwork production techniques, you will need strong communication and influencing skills and a caring, resilient approach.
