Summary
Role overview
Are you someone who thrives on connecting with others? Do you possess a knack for picking up new skills quickly while maintaining
a sense of organisation, all the while eager to lend a hand? If you have pockets of available time and a willingness to
contribute, you might just be the perfect fit for us.
Overview
Join us as a Pact Visits Centre Assistant, where you'll play a vital role in supporting families during their visits to loved
ones. Your primary responsibility will involve working within the prison's visitor centre, but your duties will extend across
various areas such as the visits hall, play area, and tea bar. You'll create a safe, welcoming space while offering guidance,
support, and essential information to friends and families navigating the complexities of prison visits.
About You:
To excel in this position, empathy is key. You'll need a deep understanding of the challenges faced by families in difficult
circumstances, particularly those involving prisoners and their loved ones. Strong organizational skills are a must, as you'll be
juggling multiple tasks and responsibilities. Additionally, any knowledge or experience in safeguarding and child protection would
be a valuable asset. Essentially, you're a genuine 'people person' ready to dive in, work diligently, and contribute meaningfully
to our visits center team in whatever capacity necessary.
What Pact Offer:
Pact offer a wide range of employee benefits including free confidential advice and counselling service, cycle to work scheme,
life assurance, eye care vouchers, generous annual leave plus more. You will have the opportunity to attend internal training
events to further develop yourself as an effective support work and you will undergo a thorough induction process and be supported
by a friendly and enthusiastic team.
