Better places, thriving communities.

We are excited by the opportunity Millsike presents: a blank canvas on which we can paint a bright future for our prisoners. Our mission is clear: to create an environment that empowers, inspires, and supports individuals to re-enter society with hope, purpose, and a life plan. To achieve this, we will set a culture of rehabilitation and restoration underpinned by integrity and high expectations. Prisoners will experience a dramatic shift from traditional prison environments. Millsike will be a vibrant, bustling community, teeming with industry, activity and opportunities for personal growth. Above all, we will ensure our approach offers a deep sense of safety/respect, through a supportive, uplifting environment, that helps prisoners to see their potential and that unlocks a brighter future for all.

It will involve identifying measurable goals and implementing evidence-based interventions to help individuals develop new skills and reduce challenging behaviours. This role will help prison staff and prisoners to understand the functionality of certain types of behaviour for the individual and create strategies and plans that will support that individual to reduce or minimise those behaviours and increase likelihood of engagement with the prison regime.

The successful candidate will work with the support of the psychology team to inform and support operational staff in their care and management of complex behaviours.
